The School of Humanities and Sciences is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the 2021 H&S Summer Scholars Program.
The H&S Summer Scholars Program provides paid positions in the summer for H&S students in all majors to engage full-time in research, scholarship, or creative inquiry projects in collaboration with an H&S faculty mentor. This year, given uncertainties around the evolving pandemic situation, we are considering projects that can be done either remotely or in-person. The standard Scholar compensation is $12.50/hour for 8 weeks of full-time work (40 hours/week) between June 1 and August 6.
“Summer Scholars has given me the opportunity to create a project that will propel me into my future after college. During that process I have been able to work on my investigative skills, my writing, and my ability to communicate my thoughts to others. Having so much freedom also allowed me to realize how I work best, which translates into other aspects of my life. Overall, the Summer Scholars program made me a better student, academic, and person.” – A recent Summer Scholar
All H&S students apply to the H&S Summer Scholars via an online application. Complete information on eligibility and program requirements, as well as links to the online application, are available on the H&S Summer Scholars webpage.
The deadline for submission is Monday, March 1, at 4pm.
Decisions will be announced no later than April 1, 2021.
Students applying to the program will be considered for all available positions. Some positions, such as those supported by the Dana Internship program or the Emerson Humanities Collaboration Award, require students to be financial aid eligible, but no additional application materials are required to be considered for these awards. For full consideration, students must have a FAFSA on file with Student Financial Services at the time of application to receive consideration for positions supported by these programs.
