DOW-MIT ACCESS Program, Deadline to Apply: June 15, 2012

We are writing to inform you of an exciting program hosted by the Departments of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering at MIT. The DOW-MIT ACCESS Program is a weekend-long symposium aimed to expose underrepresented minority students to the benefits of a graduate education in the aforementioned research areas. This 4th annual event, taking place on MIT’s campus October 12th and October 13th, is an interactive and informative symposium that has proven to have a lasting impact on its past participants.


Over half of our ACCESS alumni are now enrolled in graduate programs across the country. We hope you will apply to this program as we continue to work toward increasing the number of under-represented minorities in the fields of chemistry, chemical engineering and materials science.

Applications for the ACCESS Fall 2012 session are due June 15, 2012. All travel expenses, meals and hotel accommodations for students selected to participate in the ACCESS program will be paid by us. Participation neither obligates the student to apply for graduate study nor guarantees future consideration for study at MIT. ACCESS was made possible through the generous support of Dow Chemical Corporation. For more information visit http://access.mit.edu/ or email mit-access@mit.edu.
