To Apply
Please request an application by emailing Lesley at Lesley@nanobusinesstalent.org. We will then send you a personalized weblink to the online application. Do not share your personalized link with other students as it will contain your personal information.
The online application includes questions about your academic credentials, extra-curricular activities, and the following two 400 word essays:
ESSAY QUESTION 1:
Why are you interested in a career in science or entrepreneurship?
ESSAY QUESTION 2:
Think about a news story that you have seen or read recently that relates to science and explain why you found it interesting or surprising.
Important Application Points:
• Please observe the application deadline.
• Submit only 1 application.
• Print and retain a copy of all application materials for your records.
• Observe word limit for essays.
• Application can be started, stopped, and then returned to for editing as many times as needed using the personalized weblink until "Done" button is pressed at the end of the application. Do not press "Done" until you are satisfied with your answers because you will not be able to change your submission once this is pressed.
Selection of Talent Fellows:
Applications will be reviewed principally by the program director as well as by a panel of scientists and business leaders affiliated with the NanoBusiness Alliance. Evaluators are looking for 1) genuine curiosity and passion for science, 2) demonstrated intellectual achievement (GPA, awards/honors, test scores, and academic experiences), 3) extra-curricular activities. After the initial screening, 12 finalists will be chosen for an interview with representatives from the nanotechnology companies. From the 12 finalists, 6 Talent Fellowship winners will be named.
