2016-2017 XSEDE Scholars Program Application
XSEDE, the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment, is the most advanced, powerful, and robust collection of integrated digital resources and services in the world. The XSEDE Scholars Program (XSP) is a selective year-long program for U.S. students from underrepresented groups in the computing sciences who receive opportunities to learn more about high performance computing and XSEDE resources. The focus is on the following underrepresented groups: African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Native Americans, and women.

XSEDE Scholars will:
 -- receive a stipend of $5000 to work on an HPC educational/research internship at your institution from May 31, 2016 -- June 1, 2017 with your own advisor OR a Blue Waters Advisor (see available/new internship projects, visit http://computationalscience.org/upep/positions/list and click in Current/New Positions);  
-- travel grants to learn about high-performance computing by attending the 2-Week Blue Waters Petascale Institute on May 30-June 10, 2016 and the Annual Conference XSEDE16 in Miami, Florida on July 17-21, 2016;
-- participate in at least six (6) online technical training and mentoring webinars with other Scholars for free;
-- network with academicians and leaders in the XSEDE research comment; and learn about research, internships, fellowships, and career opportunities.
-- meet other Scholars in special sessions at XSEDE16 and via an online community throughout the year; join a select community of over 100 former XSEDE Scholars,

The deadline has been extended to March 15, 2016 at 11:59pm (CST).  Additional BW Projects will be listed on February 10, 2016.  Awardees will be notified on April 11, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. (CST).  

XSP Eligibility requirements: The program is open to graduate and undergraduate students majoring in all STEM degrees who seek training and exposure to high performance computing. You must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and enrolled in a U.S. institution to be eligible for this program during the Fall 2016-Spring 2017.  

The XSEDE Scholars Program is directed by Professor Richard A. Tapia at Rice University. To learn more, please visit: www.xsede.org/xsede-scholars-program. If you have questions or comments, please email Leticia Velazquez leti@rice.edu or call 713-348-2845.

XSEDE Internship component
The program requires for the scholar to conduct an internship at your institution from May 31, 2016-June 1, 2017. The scholar will work on an HPC educational/research project under the guidance of his/her current research advisor OR by selecting an advisor and project from the list available at http://computationalscience.org/upep/positions/list (select Current Positions). On February 15, 2016 there will be new positions listed under New Positions.
15. Who would you like to be your XSEDE internship advisor? Please include his/her name, institution, and title of project. *
If you are selecting a research advisor from the webpage of computational science, please state the top 3 projects you are interested in (do no include the abstract). If you want to work  under the direction of your current research advisor at your institution, please enter the information of your advisor and title of the project that will include the use of high performance computing resources. If you are selected you will be required to email Dr. Leticia Velazquez(leti@rice.edu) a 1 page proposal of the educational/research project that you will work on during your internship. The project description must specify the problem, goals, methods, expected outcomes, and the high-performance machine of preference (see XSEDE resources list or Blue Waters Machine)
