Summer Research Program (SRP)
Make a Connection
The Summer Research Program (SRP) equips students with the skills to become research scholars, encourage students' pursuit of graduate study, and increase graduate school enrollment among underrepresented, low-income, and first-generation college students.
SRP is made up of 8 programs which are either 8 or 10 weeks long. Each program has a cohort and a Coordinator. While requirements for each program are different, program coordinators work together to create a summer community that brings together students from all the programs. ALL SRP students are paid a stipend!
