SRCD Biennial Meeting, April 2-4, 2009
Denver, Colorado

SRCD is now accepting Scholar, Junior Mentor, and Senior Mentor applications for the 2009 SRCD Frances Degen Horowitz Millennium Scholars Program! For more information, please visit www.srcd.org, click on Biennial Meeting, and click on Millennium Scholars Program.

About the Program
The Society for Research in Child Development seeks to encourage undergraduate students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups to continue their education in child development and pursue careers in the field. To that end, the Millennium Scholars Program offers undergraduate students mentors who provide them guidance and support in the pursuit of their educational and professional goals, and provides funding for them to attend the SRCD Biennial Meeting. Scholars also attend special preconference activities before the start of the Biennial Meeting, during which they will gain valuable exposure to the field and a better understanding of career paths through one-to-one contact with their Junior and Senior Mentors.

Scholars are undergraduate students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups (African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians and Pacific Islanders) who are considering, but may be undecided about pursuing, graduate work in child development and related fields. Junior Mentors are committed doctoral students who are willing to serve as inspirations and role models for younger students. Senior Mentors are established professionals willing to help and support undergraduate students with their professional development.

Those interested in participating in the Millennium Scholars Program as Scholars, Junior Mentors, or Senior Mentors should visit the program website to learn more about the program. APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE ONLY and are due November 14, 2008.
