Each summer, Maryland Sea Grant’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports fifteen students to conduct marine research on the Chesapeake Bay. It’s a special opportunity to develop your research skills and interests by working with top scientists to study one of America’s most significant coastal resources. The REU program, funded by the National Science Foundation, is designed for students majoring in marine science, ecology, environmental science, biology, chemistry, engineering, physics, and mathematics. During the 12-week program, each student works with a mentor on an individual research project at one of the two marine labs at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Sciences located on the Chesapeake Bay. Research areas include: Estuarine processes Benthic environment Physical oceanography Contaminants Fisheries Molecular biology and genetics Environmental chemistry Submerged aquatic vegetation Modeling and analysis Coastal observing systems Each REU fellow will receive: A stipend of $6,000 Housing costs Round-trip travel expenses Eligibility Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and have completed at least two years of study towards (but not yet completed) a bachelor’s degree. Preference is given to students who are rising seniors. Students from underrepresented groups and institutions with limited research opportunities are especially encouraged to apply.

Candidates completing studies for their bachelors degree from an accredited program may apply for this award. Based on essays, submitted data, and recommendations, the Scholarship Council of the ACl Foundation, a subsidiary of ACI, selects a scholarship recipient who appears to have the strongest combination of interest and potential for professional success in the concrete industry. This undergraduate scholarship consists of a cash stipend of $3000 (U.S.) for a 1 year period.

As a way of addressing the lack of engineering faculty role models at the HBEC's, the Committee instituted the awarding of yearly fellowships to African-American faculty members or students in pursuit of the doctoral degree. These fellowships have been named after the late Helen T. Carr, an official of the Western Electric Fund, who dedicated herself to assuring the continued support of such a fellowship program by sustaining corporate sponsors. The Committee currently provides up to $10,000 per year to African-American students who are pursuing a doctoral degree. Upon completion of the doctoral degree requirements, a fellow is committed to return to one of the HBEC instiutions. Approximately 20 Helen T. Carr Fellows have completed their doctoral degree under this program. Fellowships are available to students who are currently engaged in planning to enter a career in higher education at an HBEC. A candidate must be sponsored by the Dean of Engineering from one of the participating institutions.
