Applications are competitive, but we aren't necessarily looking for simply "straight-A's" or a particular grade point average.

$0 - $1070. ASDRP dues cover about 25% of the cost of supporting a research student, and reflect the minimum operational costs of the organization's infrastructure. For students who meet financial need eligibility criteria, there is no cost to attending ASDRP.

Does ASDRP require letters of recommendation? No, admissions decisions at ASDRP are made purely on the basis of application quality rather than based on external letters of recommendation, and therefore letters of recommendation are not required to apply for ASDRP.

We seek student researchers who are passionate, who are unafraid of a steep learning curve, and who want to be involved in real science that has real impact on society. Quite simply, we do research.
