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 2015, 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 (and 30 credits)
by the end of Spring semester 2015, if you have a GPA of at least
3.4 at the time of application, and if you will be enrolled at the
University of Maryland, College Park, in Fall 2015.
All academic majors are eligible.
Application Deadline: The deadline to apply
for summer 2015 awards will be midnight on Sunday, February 8, 2015. It is important that candidates begin developing their proposals as soon as possible.
