Trinity Summer Undergraduate Mentored Research (T-SUMR) Fellowship

The T-SUMR Fellowship supports Trinity undergraduate students at Duke University to engage in immersive, faculty-mentored summer research for either a 6- or 10-week period. Awards provide a monetary fellowship for full-time summer research and can support projects in humanities, social sciences and STEM. Preference is given to students whose research is directly related to senior thesis projects and projects require a Duke faculty mentor.

$3,000 (6 weeks) or $5,000 (10 weeks) stipend; up to $1,000 additional for supplies/travel for social sciences and humanities projects; faculty mentorship.

With the exception of graduating seniors, all undergraduates in Duke's Trinity College enrolled for the following fall semester are eligible; students must have the support of a Duke faculty mentor and may not be enrolled in courses during the fellowship period.

Submit the Trinity Summer Undergraduate Mentored Research Fellowship application via Duke's application system (Duke Experiences) including a research proposal, abstract, sources, mentor endorsement (faculty letter of support), and the T-SUMR acknowledgement of commitment.
