• The application includes a personal statement (one page) describing your career goals in scientific research and why you wish to participate in this program. For the online version, you may find it easier to compose the personal statement by using a word processor, and then copy/paste it into the form.
• Online: Print a copy of the online form for your records, check the box indicating that you agree to the stated conditions, and submit the form.

3) Letters of Recommendation
Obtain two letters of recommendation from faculty members at your institution or elsewhere. These persons should be familiar with your academic and/or research abilities and should be able to judge whether you are suited for undergraduate chemical research. Have the faculty member send these letters of recommendation directly to the mailing address below, or letters can be emailed to clvoorhe@syr.edu.

Please note: If you are applying to both the International REU program in Graz, Austria and the domestic program at Syracuse University, you only need to have one copy of your transcript(s) and letters of recommendation sent. We do ask that you please fill out applications for both programs.
