La-Stem Research Scholars Program
La-Stem Scholars who participated in the 2010 SURF Research Conference
The La-Stem Scholars Program is a scholarship program for aspiring scientists who plan to attend graduate school in one of the STEM disciplines. It involves an extensive application and day-long interview process for high school students planning to attend LSU for the upcoming school year. Part of the program requirements include logging 60 hours of research a semester, performing community service, and peer mentoring younger students in the program. Benefits include paying for room and board (meal plan included), a $300 stipend per month, and a $200 book stipend at the beginning of each semester. One of the best benefits of the program has been the Summer Bridge program for the summer between a student's senior year of high school and freshman year of college, in which we were prepared for the transition to college life, including study skill seminars, etiquette classes, and weekend trips to national labs such as in Cocodrie, LA.

Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Pi Sigma
I'm especially proud to be a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Pi Sigma Honor Societies. Becoming a member of both Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Pi Sigma is validation that the definition of a scholar is not simply someone who does well in their major, but someone who reaches beyond their comfort zone to become a well-rounded individual. In order to qualify for Phi Beta Kappa, I had to have extensive liberal arts courses in addition to science courses, including significant knowledge of a second language. Sigma Pi Sigma is the Physics Honors Society, and special consideration had to be taken for me to be inducted as a non-Physics major.
