Whether your goal is to travel the world, engage in research, or make a difference in your community, Spark -- and fellowships -- can help you make the most of your time at Penn State. Participants of the Spark Program are introduced to such topics as identifying a faculty research mentor, writing a personal statement, and applying for national and international fellowships. The program is designed to give participants the opportunity to develop their critical thinking and technical writing, envision their future, and create a plan to help them along their envisioned path, ultimately helping participants develop into competitive candidates for major fellowship opportunities at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
