Laney School of Graduate Studies at Emory University is excited to invite scholars to apply to the 4th Learning about Laney: Preview Visitation of Emory University, Laney Graduate School on Monday, September 26, 2022. This fully-funded visit is designed to familiarize potential LGS scholars with our faculty, our staff, and current scholars while providing insight into the life of an LGS scholar.

Scholars will arrive in Atlanta, GA on Sunday, September 25, and the visit will convene with an evening welcome activity to include bowling and other fun games! Monday, September 26 will be a full-day in-person campus visit. Scholars will depart on Tuesday, September 27.
Purpose: Potential LGS scholars will attend Emory-specific graduate admissions workshops and have conversations with world-renowned faculty and their graduate students. They will also receive advice on submitting a graduate school application that will give them a competitive edge and learn about the professional and personal development opportunities at Emory and in the city of Atlanta.
Eligibility: All applicants must graduate no later than Summer 2023 and anticipate enrollment in graduate school in Fall 2024. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or undocumented scholars planning to apply for graduate study for the following fall (start date of Fall 2023). Learning about Laney is designed to provide scholars, from historically underrepresented groups based on their racial and ethnic identities, with an intimate opportunity to learn more about our doctoral programs.

University of Colorado Boulder
The Colorado Advantage Program introduces students to the outstanding science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) doctoral programs at CU Boulder. The program invites prospective applicants to CU Boulder during a weekend in the fall to learn about STEM doctoral opportunities, meet with faculty, tour research facilities and interact with current graduate students. Applicants for the program must be currently applying for admission into a STEM PhD program.
The goal of the program is to recruit a diverse pool of candidates into CU Boulder’s STEM doctoral programs. All students whose participation would add to the diversity of CU Boulder’s research community are invited to apply. We especially encourage applications from individuals who come from populations that are underrepresented in STEM graduate education*, including but not limited to racial and ethnic minorities, individuals who are first-generation college students from low-income backgrounds, and students with disabilities.
The application to the Colorado Advantage consists of five components:
- Application Form
- Personal Statement
- Curriculum Vita (CV)
- A Letter of Recommendation from a faculty member, and
- Transcripts. Official transcripts are preferred but unofficial transcripts will be accepted.
Please submit Application via our webform; all other materials should be emailed to cdi@colorado.edu. Please specify Colorado Advantage and your full name in the subject line. For the 2022 Colorado Advantage program, all application materials must be received by 4pm MST Monday, September 19. After that time, subsequent completed applications may be considered until the program is full.
*Groups severely underrepresented in STEM graduate education, as defined by the National Science Foundation, include African Americans, Hispanic/Latinos, American Indians/Alaska Natives that hold tribal membership, and Pacific Islanders (native peoples of Hawaii, Guam and Samoa).
