Students in their sophomore year and beyond have an opportunity to pursue specific, well-articulated, innovative research in close collaboration with faculty members. Over the span of ten summer weeks, 24 selected students have an opportunity to:
- spend 35-40 hours per week researching and investigating an original project defined in collaboration with a faculty member in their field;
- together with fellow summer scholars, attend weekly seminars which foster an intellectual community and provide an opportunity to share work in progress;
- receive a generous stipend as an alternative to summer employment, so that scholars can focus fully on their research;
- live, free of charge, on campus, if such arrangements prove convenient to their summer scholarly pursuits;
- receive up to 6 credits toward graduation requirements;
- learn about further research, scholarship, fellowship, and grant opportunities.
