Summer research

Any student
in good standing and enrolled in the College may apply for a research
stipend of up to $3,000 to support a summer research project.  This
stipend may be used to pay for travel, equipment, living expenses or
fees related to the research effort.  Students participating in one of
the College’s “Problems Without Passports” research courses may
use these funds for tuition.

Students participating in the following types of programs may apply:

● Assisting a USC professor with a research project
● Participating in a team research activity under the supervision
of a USC professor
● Research for a departmental honors program
● Research with a lab, consulting firm or an internship that
involves an independent research project

There may be other research projects that we will consider for funding.
 Students are encouraged to apply and the selection committee will
determine whether the proposal project is eligible for funding.  No one
receiving wages for a project will be considered.

Applications must include the following:

● A brief description of the project-500 word maximum
● A STARS report
● A letter of recommendation from the professor supervising the
project
● A budget for the project that includes information about other
funding sources

All materials must be submitted to the Vice Dean of Undergraduate
Programs in ADM 304.  Application due date is April 30, 2008.  Questions
may be directed to Kimberly Maes at kmaes@usc.edu .
