The Summer Fellows program provides an alternative to the Summer Scholars program. The program is ideal for those who wish to undertake a smaller scale project, who have been working on projects during the academic year and would like to continue research in the summer, or who wish to begin projects that will continue during next academic year.

Students may combine the Summer Fellows award with a schedule of courses or with other employment at UD or outside of UD. However, students may not combine the Fellows award with another summer research-funded opportunity from UD

Summer Fellowship awards range from $300-1500 depending on the amount of time committed to the project. For questions please contact Dr. Lauren Barsky, Associate Director of the Undergraduate Research Program: lbarsky@udel.edu

Application materials will include:
