2025 Student Registration

2025-2026 AMPS Student Registration

(Registration is open from 9/8/25 through 10/3/25 (or as spaces are available))

Welcome to the Anteater Mentoring in Physical Sciences (AMPS) program. The AMPS program can match up to 60 students with a mentor this year; mentors will be assigned based on common career paths/interests as well as based on the Mentor/Mentee Interviews. In order to get the most out of this program, you must fully participate in the mentoring process with your mentor. The AMPS program requires approximately 2-5 hours of your time per month. Mentees are REQUIRED to make every effort to engage with their mentor on a regular basis via in person meetings, email, Zoom, chat, etc--no less than once each month. With this in mind, you are encouraged to apply. Thank you for your interest in AMPS!

NOTE: over half of our mentors this year are remote, so you may be paired with a remote mentor who will communicate primarily through email, phone, Zoom, etc.
