Summer Funding Opportunities for Students
Human Ecology Summer Research Stipends for Undergraduates
Human Ecology Summer Research Stipends for Undergraduates: The College of Human Ecology provides a limited number of stipends to CHE undergraduates who will be involved in full-time summer research with a CHE faculty member. Both the student and the faculty member must be in CHE. Students and their faculty mentors must both submit applications. Students should work with faculty members in preparing the 2-3 page proposal that is required as part of the application. All currently enrolled CHE students may apply provided that they have a CHE faculty research advisor, are in good academic standing, and will be continuing as CHE undergraduate students in the fall semester. Students must be available for a full-time, 8-week summer research position. Simultaneous enrollment in courses is not permitted. Students must submit short reports at the end of the research experience. Visit CHE's Undergraduate Research site to learn more.
