Are you an underrepresented minority student (Black, Latinx, and Indigenous) looking to pursue a graduate degree in physics?

The APS Bridge Program aims to provide you with the necessary tools and resources to achieve success in a graduate program. This begins through the encouragement of holistic admissions practices during the Bridge application review process.

Admittance into a Bridge Program will provide you with a network of individuals that are committed to student success and increased diversity and inclusion in the field.
 

You are eligible for the Bridge Program if you meet the following requirements:

• Have a bachelor's degree in physics or closely related discipline such as biophysics, applied physics, engineering physics, astrophysics, etc. Non-physics majors must have completed core physics requirements to be considered.
• Be a US citizen or permanent resident (or be a part of the DACA program)
• Did not apply to a physics graduate program that received a letter of acceptance

Conference: February 18-21, 2021

The APS National Mentoring Community (NMC) Conference is organized in partnership with the National Society for Black Physicists, the National Society for Hispanic Physicists, and Oklahoma State University. The NMC Conference will include:

• Plenary talks on mentoring and physics research
• Panels and workshops on mentoring best practices
• Career workshops and panels
• Undergraduate research experiences and graduate schools fair
• Networking opportunities
• And much more

Registration discounts are offered to registered NMC Mentors and Mentees. Learn more about how to become a mentor or mentee here.
