This program supports summer research awards for rising seniors who are engaged in thesis work on campus and includes a stipend of $610 per week for up to eight weeks of work (or up to $4,880), as well as on campus housing and meals. The application must briefly outline a clearly defined project and have the strong support of an Amherst College faculty member with whom the student will work directly.
The majority of the students who participate in the program are rising seniors doing preliminary research for their senior honors theses. The fellowships are available to students in all disciplines.
The applications for summer funding will open on February 15, 2024, and closes on April 22, 2024.
Please note that if a student receives funding to conduct summer research, the student is not eligible for other Amherst College employment during that time period, including summer internship funding.
