Am I correct that the existing VRT/RT programs are:
Hunter
Western Michigan
Salas
Louisiana Tech
UMass -Boston
University of Northern Illinois
I think they are all seeking qualified applicants and now is a great time to
get started applying for the Fall semester. We need good people! Consider
applying.....stipends and scholarships are available from most of them.
