Selection Process
UM Scholars involves a competitive selection process to gauge student capabilities, interests and the potential to expand from the research experience. A matching process that includes student/mentor interviews ensures the best fit between mentors, students and projects and a quality experience for all parties. In addition, it establishes a defined project with clear expectations and deliverables. Mentors interview student applicants and make their selections on the best candidate match to the project and to the mentor.
