2013 Maryland Summer Scholars Program - MCUR



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

2013, the program will provide awards of $3,000 to approximately 30

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.

 

Who can apply: You are eligible to apply if you will have completed at

least two full semesters by the end of spring 2013, if you have a GPA of

at least 3.4, and if you will be enrolled at the University of Maryland,

College Park, in fall 2013. All academic majors are eligible.



 

Application Deadline: The deadline to apply for summer 2013 awards will be

Monday, February 4, 2013. It is important that candidates begin developing

 their proposals as soon as possible.
