The Beckman Scholars Program is targeted to students majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), who are American citizens or permanent residents of the United States who are interested in a mentored research experience in the biological or chemical sciences. Eligible students must be current sophomores and juniors at the University of Arizona and be willing and able to work full time for a minimum of 10 weeks for two consecutive summers and part time during the intervening academic year.

Finalists will be interviewed by a selection committee and are required to work with one of the fifteen Beckman Faculty mentors listed on the website.
