Summer Research Program for Division I and II Students
If you have a dream that you would like to make real, during the summer, spring break, or as a Winter Study 99, talk to us. We accept ideas and applications on a rolling basis.
=== Summer Research Program for Division I and II Students ===* '''[http://www.williams.edu/admin/deanfac/summer_research.php Web SiteSummer Research Program for Division I and II Students]'''===
* '''Administrator''': [mailto:John.P.Gerry@williams.edu John Gerry], [http://www.williams.edu/admin/deanfac/ Associate Dean of the Faculty]
* '''Deadline''': March 1
 
The program is open to current first-years, sophomores, and juniors. We offer a stipend of $3,400 for ten weeks and typically about 20 students are funded.
 
Many students look for summer work over Spring Break, so we hope to announce funded projects before students leave on March 17. In order to meet this goal, please submit a brief application in hard copy to the Dean of Faculty Office by Wednesday, March 1. The application should contain the following information:
 
* Name of faculty sponsor and department/program
* Name and class year of student
* Starting date and number of weeks for the research project (10 weeks maximum, but shorter periods are fine, in which case the amount of the stipend will be calculated accordingly, at $340/week; the stipend level assumes a full-time work week).
* Housing required? On-campus lodging is available from June 12 thru August 18 and we will pay for this as well. We don’t pay for student meals, but they can enroll in an economical meal plan with dining services.
* Project Title and Project Description
* Qualifications of the student for this project
* Is this request for a backup or supplement to another grant or fellowship?
 
Student participation in summer faculty research projects must be substantial and significant so as to provide authentic involvement in academic research. Projects comprised largely of clerical or background work performed by students will likely not be funded. There is no “residency requirement” per se, but it is certainly preferred that students spend a substantial amount of their time on campus, as one of the hopes of this initiative is to foster a student summer research climate on campus. There are clearly cases where research is best conducted elsewhere, in which case we ask that faculty sponsors be in a position to monitor the off-site research. Also, please note that current seniors are ineligible for this program.
 
This program is not to be confused with the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program (MMUFP) or the Williams Undergraduate Research Fellowship (WCURF), both of which also support student summer research and are run by Molly Magavern out of the Office for Special Academic Programs.
