Summer Research Program

Domestic students who accept the offer of admission into one of our graduate studies programs are also offered a Summer Research Fellowship.

• Apply by the Early Deadline of February 1 in order to be considered for this great opportunity.
• Up to $5,000 in funding is available to start research in the summer before the official start date in September; May and January registrants are not eligible.
• Incoming students must stay for at least three of the four months of the summer (May-August).
• This is a chance to work for any chemistry graduate faculty member during the summer but may choose a different thesis advisor after officially registering in the graduate program in September.
• Contact a chemistry professor about working in his or her lab over the summer right after receiving the letter of offer.
• Experience gained from the summer research program will tend to reduce time to obtain degree and increase chances of producing publications in the near future. These publications are important for future scholarship applications and prospective career goals.
• Repayment of an award is required if a student is in full-time attendance fewer than 12 weeks in the program, withdraws from the summer program or fails to register in the graduate program in September.
• Further information will be forwarded by the Chemistry Graduate Office on the first week of April.
