Current STAR Scholars

JUMP TO A SECTION: Dates & Deadlines | How to Find A Mentor | Paperwork

STAR Scholars can use a variety of resources to find a STAR Mentor. The first and foremost is the Discover portal [link to Getting Started/How to Use the Discover Portal]; many of our former STAR Mentors are consistently posting new positions on the website, as well as many faculty members who would be interested in becoming first-time mentors.

Students can also research the research in their disciplines by visiting each college’s and/or department’s website to find information on specific faculty members’ research areas of expertise.
