Summer Research Fellowship Program

The 2005 Howard Hughes Summer Research Fellowship Program invites applications from freshmen, sophomores and juniors in the schools of Arts and Sciences and Engineering. The selected students will receive a $3,000 stipend to conduct laboratory research during the summer with a Johns Hopkins faculty member of their choice.

Students should submit applications and supporting materials-a letter of support from the lab sponsor, letter of recommendation from a faculty member, transcript, statement of purpose and proposal-to Gary Ostrander, associate provost for research, 237 Mergenthaler Hall, by 4 p.m. on Feb. 14. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.

Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Program

The Woodrow Wilson Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program is designed for Arts & Sciences students who are interested in conducting their own research under the guidance of a faculty mentor.

While the majority of Wilson research fellows are accepted to the program as incoming freshmen, current first-year students are welcome to apply for sophomore fellowship standing by contacting the program coordinator directly by e-mail at sdavid@jhu.edu. Students not accepted into the program as freshmen may reapply during their first year at Hopkins

Sophomore research fellows receive up to $7,500 over three years. The funds will be spent on research costs, which may include travel, equipment and use of archives or laboratories. Students create and pursue research projects with help from their faculty mentors. As seniors, Wilson research fellows publicly present their work to the Hopkins community.
