Supporting students engaged in creative inquiry, research, and scholarship projects APPLICATIONS FOR SUMMER 2023 ARE NOW CLOSED.
H&S Summer Scholars Program

The Summer Scholars Program gives students in all Humanities and Sciences disciplines the opportunity to work alongside dedicated faculty mentors to collaborate on mutually-enriching projects over the course of 8 weeks in the summer.

Scholars are paid to engage in their projects full-time, developing key professional skills that they can build on in their future studies and career.

Eligible students have a major within the School of Humanities and Sciences and will be enrolled in the following fall semester.

Program Overview

Through the program, scholars have transformative experiences in a variety of research, scholarship, and creative inquiry projects. Some students design their own independent projects, others participate in ongoing faculty-led research projects in the field or in the lab.

Competitive applicants are students who are passionate about their studies and are ready for an experiential opportunity in their field.

The standard wage for summer 2023 is $4,544 for 8 weeks of full-time work (37.5-40 hours/week) on their projects beginning on May 31. In addition to pursuing their project work, scholars have opportunities to get together with other scholars and mentors in the program to share ideas and experiences.
