Leadership Alliance Universities - The Leadership Alliance is a consortium of twenty-nine of this nation's leading research and teaching academic institutions, including minority serving institutions, all dedicated to improving the participation of underrepresented students in graduate and Ph.D. programs and, ultimately, research professions in the academic, public and private sectors. The Leadership Alliance Universities that have SR-EIP (Summer Research Early Identification Program) for Underrepresented students interested in pursuing a graduate degree, are listed below.  They require only 1 (one) application that works for all of them!
