From the University of Virginia, Curry School of Education:
The Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) is a 10-week internship that provides undergraduates from underrepresented groups with valuable research and professional development experience under the guidance of UVA Faculty conducting education research.
This internship program is designed to encourage students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field of education research to pursue graduate study and consider careers in academic, policy, or research organizations.
Interns will work on research focusing on schools, classrooms, and other youth settings as contexts critical to child and adolescent development. They will also participate in developmental workshops and meetings, and present at a research conference.
SURP interns will receive many benefits that will help them:
- Be prepared to apply to graduate programs in educational research
- Clarify and develop their research interests
- Expand their network of faculty, graduate students, and peer scholars
- Build a proficiency in statistical methods and at least one software program
- Develop greater familiarity with the contours of the research process and academic writing
Students will receive a stipend of $3000, support for travel to/from Charlottesville, and $500 towards meals.
The deadline to apply is FEBRUARY 1.
