Miami University's Undergraduate Summer Scholars (USS) program is now accepting applications. Deadline is Dec. 4. This nine-week summer program enables Miami undergraduates to do research or other creative activities with an individual faculty mentor.
USS awards include a $2,600 student fellowship; up to 12 hours of academic credit with waiver of instructional fees and tuition; a $400 student allowance for supplies, services and travel; and a $600 faculty mentor allowance. Student participation costs vary depending on whether the student crafts a research project under Option A (a research project for 12 credit hours) or Option B (combination of international course work experience with a research project for a total of 12 credit hours).
The USS program offers a late fall submission opportunity (round 1) that is open to all eligible students. In addition, a spring (round 2) submission opportunity is offered. However round 2 is limited to students majoring in disciplines where the fall deadline has limited their participation due to the timing of their research methods course.
Students submitting an application with a mentor in School of Fine Arts and Humanities, social science disciplines, and School of Education and Health departments may apply in round 1 or round 2. All other students must apply through their mentor’s department by the fall submission deadline of December 4.
For both deadlines all eligible students must submit their application to the department or program of the faculty member who agrees to work with them.
