Undergraduate students majoring in STEM subjects (such as physics, chemistry, biology, biochemistry, geography, earth science, mathematics and statistics, computer science, and psychology-neuroscience) at Hunter College may apply to the prestigious John P. McNulty Scholars Program. The McNulty Scholars are supported for up to two years. Scholars currently receive a stipend of $6,000 per academic year to support their research and conference attendance.
