Prospective Physics PhD Preview (P4)

Princeton Physics would like to invite you to apply for the P4 (Prospective Physics PhD Preview) program, a workshop organized by the Princeton Physics Ambassadors. P4 will focus on giving you the tools to engage in physics research, identify your ideal graduate programs, and develop a competitive graduate application. Along the way, the P4 Scholars will interact with graduate students, postdocs, and faculty from Princeton’s Physics Department. The workshop will run between January 28-30th, 2022.

To be eligible for P4, you must currently be in your freshman, sophomore, or junior undergraduate year. P4 Scholars will be selected to represent a diverse set of backgrounds and interests. Sophomores and juniors with a strong interest in physics will be prioritized, particularly those who are struggling to overcome barriers (systematic or otherwise) in their path through physics. We especially welcome students from historically underrepresented groups to apply for this program. 

To apply, please submit this form by 11:59PM ET on Sunday, November 7th

Click Here to Apply!

Portions of the P4 program will be publicly broadcasted; to receive an invitation to this public programming, you only need to fill out the first section of this form. To apply to be a P4 Scholar and participate in live workshops with members of the Princeton Physics community, please complete all sections of this form.
