[UMBC Meyerhoff Scholars Program](http://www.umbc.edu/meyerhoff/)

This should help lakumaddali. You must be nominated by your counselor first though but if you get the chance to go to selection weekend, go. It is an extremely rewarding experience. The Meyerhoff is a wonderful scholarship that has students go off and do amazing things (there is a guy who got accepted to Johns Hopkins MD-PhD program and will be attending this meeting for Nobel Laureates which is a HUGE honor) in science and research.

They start you off with a summer bridge program (also called boot camp) and then every summer after that, they make sure you have an internship. The students are incredibly intelligent and the family feel is one of a kind. They really want students who research/want to do research, can be a part of their family, and are aiming for PhD’s in science or engineering. Read more about it and see if you fit the mold!
