Special Programs

Summer research scholarships were instituted in 1961 under a grant from the Research Corporation of New York for the improvement of instruction in natural science and mathematics at King College, and have been continued by grants from the National Science Foundation and other supporting foundations. Under such grants, outstanding juniors may receive a stipend for summer study and research at the college, where they work with a faculty member on a research project. During the senior year, the research is continued in a Special Topics course, and this research will be the subject of a senior thesis which will be presented to the Interdepartmental Science and Mathematics Seminar. The successful student will receive the citation "Honors in Independent Study" on his or her diploma.
