Summer Research Opportunities

Students who compete successfully for national academic awards typically have one or more summer research experiences. Many of these opportunities are sponsored by government agencies, universities and colleges, or non-profit organizations. Normally, these programs run for 8-11 weeks over the summer, provide a modest stipend, and may include subsidized housing.
