Summer Scholar Program

The College of Human Services, Education and Public Policy offer monetary awards to sophomore and junior majors in the College, enabling them to do in-depth research with faculty in the College.  Each Scholar receives a stipend and a summer housing allowance.  Students work on their projects full time for ten weeks in the summer and continue to do three credits’ worth of research in the following academic year.  The research done during the academic year may be part of the senior thesis for the Degree With Distinction or Honors Degree with Distinction.  For more information, students should consult the CHEP Scholars Handbook.  The Handbook, application forms, and advisement are available at the Undergraduate Research Office, 201 Elliott Hall.

Take a look at some of the projects carried out by our Department’s Summer Scholars.
