Holly Bossart, a double major in economics and mathematics, received a HERC Fellowship to work with Jaechoul Lee, Ph.D., professor of statistics, during spring 2020 on a project titled, “ESS Multiple Comparison Methods for Long Memory Processes: Application to U.S. Stock Volatilities.”Â
The HERC Fellowship is a paid, 10-week research experience offered to undergraduate students by the Boise State Institute for STEM and Diversity Initiatives, during the fall and spring semesters. This fellowship gives students a $3,000 stipend, additional travel funds and the opportunity to present their research. The HERC Fellowship is open to all STEM majors, including students in natural sciences, social sciences, and health sciences. This program encourages first-year researchers to apply. The HERC fellowship is funded by the Idaho State Board of Education.
