WISER Application
WISER Application – 2025-2026 Academic Year
Undergraduate students currently holding Freshman or Sophomore status at Loyola University Chicago, who are dedicated to supporting women in STEM fields and have NO research experience outside of the classroom are welcome to apply. This program is designed for and strongly prefers students not seeking to attend medical, dental, or veterinary school. Students participating in other LUROP fellowships, internships, or scholarships are not eligible for this award.

INSTRUCTIONS
WISER Internship opportunities (faculty projects) for AY 2025-2026 will be posted by January 6, 2025. At that time, review all AY 2025-2026 faculty projects and choose two that interest you the most. After you have made your choices, create a document that addresses the following points and submit it by March 1, 2025, to https://webapps2.luc.edu/lurop/login/login.
- Write a brief (one paragraph) autobiography.
- Which two faculty projects are most appealing to you? Why?
- Why are you interested in learning about and participating in a research project?
- What are your greatest strengths as a student?
- What are your greatest weaknesses as a student?
- If you have already declared a major, tell us what your major is and why you chose it. If you have not yet declared a major, tell us which fields you are considering and what factors could play a role in your final decision.
- If you could beam yourself into the future, what do you see your career and/or life being like 10 years from now?
- In what ways have you, or see yourself in the future, supporting women in science?
- Is there any additional information about yourself that you would like us to consider?
