Dear Student,
What's your obsession? Particle physics? History of dance? Early American political poetry? Crepidula Fornicata? Kant? Spend this summer working closely with a faculty mentor and a cohort of like-minded nerds from across the disciplines in Tufts’ Summer Scholars program.
The Summer Scholars program funds rising juniors and seniors to pursue ten-week independent research projects. As part of the program, you will work closely with a faculty mentor to create a poster to present at a poster session in the fall. Summer Scholars then present the next stage of your research at the Undergraduate Research Symposium in the spring. Often, the summer project will culminate in your senior honors thesis.
The program is open to Tufts undergraduates graduating between Dec. 2022 and May 2024 (SMFA 5-year students can apply in their second year, but will be at a competitive disadvantage) with a minimum GPA of 3.0. Each student can only apply with one faculty mentor, and each faculty mentor is limited to apply with one student. Faculty mentors must be Tufts faculty, and can come from any of the Schools, including the graduate schools.
