91¿´Æ¬
This program awards students a stipend to conduct 10 weeks of independent research under the mentorship of STEM faculty.
Program History
Since 1989, the College has provided 35-plus students with 10-week research stipends to conduct independent research under the guidance of 91¿´Æ¬ faculty members in the sciences and mathematics each summer.
The 91¿´Æ¬ (SSR) program is enriched by professional development workshops and a poster session where students present their research to the college community. The amount of the stipend is $5,000 (minus taxes). The program is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Undergraduate research initiatives are central to 91¿´Æ¬'s approach to science education. All science majors are encouraged to conduct mentored research projects during the summer and/or academic year. Students can apply for stipends for summer research and academic credit for research performed in the junior and senior years.
