Microsoft college scholarships are designed to encourage students to pursue studies in computer science and related technical disciplines. Students will be awarded scholarships in recognition of their passion for software, academic excellence, and ability to make a difference in the software industry.
Microsoft encourages students from groups currently under-represented in the field of computer science to pursue technical degrees. A large majority of the scholarships will be awarded to female students, under-represented minority students or students with disabilities. Minorities include: African American, Hispanic or Native American.
Students must be enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program at a 4-year college or university in the United States, Canada, or Mexico at the time the application is submitted. Students must be enrolled full-time and making satisfactory progress toward an undergraduate degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related technical discipline, such as math or physics, with a demonstrated interest in computer science. The student must have a 3.0 cumulative grade point average out of a possible 4.0, or a 4.0 cumulative grade point average out of a possible 5.0.

REU at the Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Science (UC-Berkeley), Deadline: February 1, 2012
The Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Science (E3S) at the University of California, Berkeley will host its annual Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) from June 11 – August 12, 2012. This program is open to current sophomores, juniors and non-graduating seniors, majoring in Physical Sciences and Engineering and with a minimum GPA of 3.25. In particular, applicants from under-represented minority communities are encouraged to apply.
Our REU program introduces energy efficient electronics science to undergraduates who are motivated by science and engineering. We have research programs in nanoelectronics, nanomechanics, nanophotonics and nanomagnetics. Summer researchers have the opportunity to join E3S researchers who are working in a collaborative and innovative environment to make fundamental breakthroughs in the underlying physics, chemistry, and material science of electronics systems.
The program offers each participant nine weeks of research experience in the laboratory of an E3S faculty member at Berkeley that will include a research paper and a poster presentation of the research outcomes. In addition to participating in cutting edge electrical engineering and physics research projects, the program also offers educational activities including seminars, laboratory tours and field trips, as well as one-on-one advice regarding graduate school programs, the process to apply for fellowship, and a GRE prep course.
Additional program details, applicant requirements and the online application can be found on the web at: http://www.e3s-center.org/REU2012.htm
Applications must be postmarked or submitted online by February 1, 2012.
Any inquiries should be addressed to our E3S Education Director, Sharnnia Artis at sartis@eecs.berkeley.edu or 510-664-4467.

Smart Lighting Engineering Research Center REU, Deadline: February 29, 2012
The SMART LIGHTING ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER (ERC) is an integrated research, education, and technology transfer center funded by the National Science Foundation and NYSTAR. The Center is developing technologies to revolutionize lighting that provides unparalleled benefits in energy conservation, human health and safety, and high speed information and access. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY is the lead institution for the Smart Lighting ERC, partnering with Boston University and the University of New Mexico.
Each summer the ERC supports a 10-week research program for visiting undergraduate researchers who are valued members of one of multiple research groups within the Smart Lighting ERC. Participants attend all research group meetings for an understanding of how their project fits into the goals of the research group and the Center. Participants also attend weekly seminars, field trips, and lab tours with a community of undergraduate summer research scholars who are participating in other summer REU programs at Rensselaer. Midway through the program, each participant presents a 10-minute oral progress report and submits a written progress report. During the last week of the program, participants will present at a REU Symposium and prepare a final written report based on his/her summer research accomplishments. Participants have full use of Institute, departmental, and group facilities, including libraries, computer facilities, technical shops, recreational and sports facilities, and more.
