<div>March 16th Deadline for COSMOS</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font color="#000000">California State Summer School for
Mathematics & Science (COSMOS) for summer 2006. COSMOS serves
California's diverse student body as well as a small percentage of
students from out-of-state. Since the program began in summer 2,000 at
two campuses, 2,475 students from 46 California counties have
attended; approximately half the participants are female and half are
male. We are dedicated to maintaining these students' interest in
math, science or engineering and in creating a
community of scholars.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br>
This summer, the four UC COSMOS sites at<u><b> Davis, Irvine, San
Diego and Santa Cruz</b></u> will enroll 570 high achieving high
school students who excel in mathematics and science at the unique
four-week residential program. Applications are accepted<u><b>
until the March 16th deadline at 5 PM.</b></u> Detailed
information, course cluster descriptions and instructions are
available at www.ucop.edu/cosmos which links to the four
campus-specific COSMOS programs. The online application and need-based
financial aid forms are now posted at the website. Students may
apply to only one campus, and are asked to write short essays about
three possible "course cluster" preferences. Two teacher
recommendations are required.</font></div>
<div><br></div>

<div><font color="#000000"><u><b>Financial Aid</b></u> for the full
in-state $2,000 tuition, covering room, board and the academic program
is available to academically qualified students with documented
financial need who reside in California. Each year, close to one third
of COSMOS California resident participants receive a full scholarship.
There is a $20 non-refundable application fee. Out-of-state
participants pay $6,200 to attend, as required by the legislation.<br>
