The NSP is committed to recruiting highly qualified students, including underrepresented minority students and international students. No fixed number of students in any category is admitted during any given year.

Our Minority Admissions Liaison for 2011-2012 is Daniel Llano (d-llano@illinois.edu). Dr. Llano will speak with all applicants from underrepresented groups to provide additional information and answer questions.

Communication with faculty members about their research is strongly encouraged.
