Apply to be a Science Slam Scholar
We are thrilled that you are applying to be a Slammer – that’s what we call a Science Slam Presenter – and can’t wait to review your application!
Those who compete in the “Science Slam Competition” are applying for the “Science Slam Scholarship Award” presented by the College of Science at George Mason University. Each awardee will be a “Science Slam Scholar”.
The College of Science believes in supporting all of our students in their pursuit of scientific scholarship. Part of that pursuit reasonably includes discussing and presenting your work to laypersons as well as experts. Science Slam encourages students to participate in the community of discussion, and this competition helps to highlight some of those willing to share their research knowledge with the larger College, and Mason, community.
