ScholarFind Physics/Astronomy Graduate School/Internship Application Service
This can help with Grad applicationsThe National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) and the IT company ScholarFindhave developed web services whereby students as well as graduate and internship programs can extend their options for admissions and recruiting.
These services are available to all physics and astronomy students, and we invite all your majors to do so.Using these services your students can upload to a database all the essential elements of a graduate school or internship application including academic history, transcripts (as PDF copies), GRE scores, work/internship history and a personal statement (as a PDF). Blind letters of recommendation can also be uploaded by the writers themselves.
Your graduate and REU programs can subscribe to these respective databases. And from there you can contact students with invitations to a campus visit, or with offers of admissions and financial aid.
These services lower one of the barriers to applying to graduate school and internship programs by providing an opportunity for students to put their credentials in front of multiple programs at multiple institutions with a single "application"(*). At the same time programs can more effectively recruit students that may not otherwise apply to their programs.
For more information visit the graduate school service website athttp://www.gradapps.nsbp.org where there is an FAQ page. For the internship site visit http://www.reuapps.nsbp.org. You can also contact NSBP Headquarters at[email protected] or ScholarFind customer service at[email protected].
