A core group of undergraduate WINS Scholars are selected each year based on academic achievement, a demonstrated interest in research, future plans for a career in STEM, and a commitment to making STEM fields more inclusive for traditionally underrepresented groups, including women. WINS aims to nurture the talents of WINS Scholars through an individualized program of study, research, and mentoring. Our goal is to provide the foundation for lifelong success in professional and academic careers that involve research in a STEM field.
WINS Scholars meet regularly as a group, offer peer support to each other, meet with instructors and scientists invited to address the group, and host events that enable them to meet eminent scientists from STEM fields. The WINS director acts to facilitate mentor relationships with researchers at NYU. WINS programming frequently features women leaders in science and math, and WINS Scholars also raise awareness on campus of the enormous contribution women have made to the sciences.
Eligibility:
- Must be a rising sophomore, junior, or senior in CAS.
- WINS scholars are expected to maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 and actively participate in research.
- In their senior year, each WINS scholar will be required to apply for a Dean’s Undergraduate Research Fund grant and then to present their research findings at the Undergraduate Research Conference held every spring.
- Open to all CAS students with a demonstrable commitment to advancing the inclusion of women in STEM at NYU and beyond, regardless of sex or gender identity.
