Named in honor of the College’s 25th president, the program supports the academic and research activities of students and faculty who belong to the College’s vibrant community of natural sciences and mathematics scholars. Students who have expressed an interest in pursuing a major in the sciences or mathematics and have demonstrated nascent research abilities are initially invited to be program apprentices. As early as the end of their first academic year, accomplished apprentices are invited to apply to become a John S. Toll Science and Mathematics Fellow (JSTF). These fellowships provide funding to undergraduate majors in the sciences and mathematics who are engaged in campus-based research projects under the direct supervision of a faculty mentor during the academic year or in the College’s ten-week summer research program. John S. Toll Science and Mathematics Fellows must major in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Environmental Science and Studies, Mathematics, Physics, or Psychology. These majors can be pursued in conjunction with the Premedical Studies/Pre-Vet program, 3+2 Engineering program, 3+2 Nursing program, or 3+4 Pharmacy program. All Apprentices and Fellows must maintain full-time enrollment at Washington College, maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 - 4.00, and abide by the Washington College Honor Code in the pursuit of all endeavors, both academic and social.
