MARYLAND CENTER FOR UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH – 2013 Maryland Summer Scholars Program
Francis DuVinage, Director
– http://www.ugresearch.umd.edu/
The
Maryland Summer Scholars Program (MSS) provides an exciting opportunity
for undergraduate students to spend the summer working closely with
faculty mentors on ambitious research or artistic projects. Maryland
Summer Scholars research may take place in College Park or anywhere in
the US or abroad as required by the nature of the project. For the
summer of 2013, the program will provide awards of $3,000 to
approximately 30 outstanding, competitively selected applicants. [Please
note: if your proposed research requires travel outside of the College
Park area, you may apply for a supplementary travel award of up to
$1,000.]
Students
who carry out Maryland Summer Scholars projects gain a competitive edge
when applying for graduate study, fellowships, employment and other
competitive opportunities. Many Summer Scholars turn their research
into an independent study or honors thesis during their junior or
senior year.
Who can apply:
You are eligible to apply if you will have completed at least two full
semesters by the end of spring 2013, if you have a GPA of at least
3.4, and if you will be enrolled at the University of Maryland, College
Park, in fall 2013. All academic majors are eligible.
Application Deadline: The deadline to apply for summer 2013 awards will be Monday, February 4, 2013. It is important that candidates begin developing
their proposals as soon as possible.
