REU Program Application Instructions
Review of applications will begin January 31
DIMACS is using a new online application form this year to make it easier to process your REU application. Student applicants will be asked to create a login and password. Your login will be an email address. Be sure to use an email address that you check regularly. This email address is where updates and information about the REU program will be sent. If you have any questions, please contact reu@dimacs.rutgers.edu.Applicants should be undergraduates with a major in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a closely related field. They should be current juniors (graduating in the academic year following the REU), although sophomores with exceptionally strong backgrounds as well as seniors will be considered. Due to funding agency rules, only U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents are eligible to receive stipends and support for housing and travel costs under the DIMACS, DIMACS/DIMATIA, and Mathematics programs; however, foreign students enrolled at a U.S. university are eligible funding under the CCICADA program. Women, minorities, and students with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
To apply eligible students must create an online account using an email and password. The email address is where we will send information on the REU program selection process. Once the account is created students may repeatedly access their account to update their application.
If you wish more information about the program, the supervisors, or suggested research projects, please contact the REU Coordinator at: reu@dimacs.rutgers.edu or call 732-445-5930.
