Under the "Senior Capstone Experience" tab, you can find a link to the presentation the students heard today, as well as a timeline for important events. Please print the timeline and make note of the MANDATORY dates: February 16 (Complete application with signatures due), April 7 (Orientation meeting), May 22/23 (Presentations), and May 30 (Exhibition).

Gettysburg STEM Scholarhip Program
With help from a generous grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), we are offering a STEM scholarship program for students interested in STEM fields (Biology, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics). STEM Scholars will have their full demonstrated financial need met for all four years with no loans, and have the opportunity to:

Attend a STEM-focused pre-orientation workshop with other STEM Scholars.
Enroll in an exclusive First-Year Seminar taught by STEM faculty.
Participate in bi-monthly luncheons with STEM faculty and a variety of learning activities on and off campus.
Take advantage of various STEM offerings, including faculty-student research, peer-mentoring, preferential residence in Gettysburg College's Science House, and internship opportunities with industrial partners.
Our deadline for Regular Decision admission (using the Common Application) is January 15, and students should file both the CSS Financial Aid Profile and FAFSA by January 15.
Please visit our website, which also has a link to the application, and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Kenyon College Off-Campus Interviews
We will be at the Boston Marriott Copley Place on January 7-8 to conduct off campus interviews.

While visiting Kenyon is the best way to get a feel for our campus community, we know that isn't always possible. That's why a Kenyon representative will be in your area conducting off-campus interviews.
Please encourage your students to visit the registration page and sign up for an interview time.

Interviews will be about 30 minutes long. Students do not need a transcript or a resume — just a sense of curiosity, including questions for and about Kenyon.
