Application Process

Application materials and general information may be obtained from this website or by writing to, or e-mailing Dr. Lord. Prospective applicants who may be in the Rochester area and wish to visit our faculty are welcome to do so, but should consult with Dr. Lord in advance so that a schedule may be arranged.

The Program begins each year in early July. Applications are accepted starting January 1 and the deadline for applications is May 1. Applications will be reviewed as they are received and thus it is to your advantage to apply as early as possible since there is only a limited number of available slots in this program.

All participants receive free health (and other) fees, and a stipend ($24,000/year). Tuition for needed courses is also free.
