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
2016, the program
will provide awards of $3,000 to approximately 25 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.
Detailed information about the MSS program, and instructions on completing applications can be found on the MCUR website
