3) Letters of Recommendation
Obtain two letters of recommendation from faculty members at your institution or elsewhere. These persons should be familiar with your academic and/or research abilities and should be able to judge whether you are suited for undergraduate chemical research. Have the faculty member send these letters of recommendation directly to the mailing address below, or letters can be emailed to dmstowe@syr.edu.

Please note: If you are applying to both the program at Syracuse University and the International REU program in Graz, Austria, you only need to have one copy of your transcript(s) and letters of recommendation sent. We do ask that you please fill out applications for both programs.
