On January 24 from 12:05-1:00pm, in the Ithaca Falls Room, H&S is hosting two information sessions about the Summer Scholars Program. Former scholars and faculty mentors will be there to answer your questions and talk to you about what the program has to offer.
The H&S Summer Scholars Program provides paid positions for H&S students in all majors to engage full-time in research, scholarship, or creative inquiry projects in collaboration with an H&S Faculty Mentor. Students will be paid $11.10/hour for 8-10 weeks of full-time work (37.5 hours/week).
“Summer Scholars has given me the opportunity to create a project that will propel me into my future after college. During that process I have been able to work on my investigative skills, my writing, and my ability to communicate my thoughts to others. Having so much freedom also allowed me to realize how I work best, which translates into other aspects of my life. Overall, the Summer Scholars program made me a better student, academic, and person.” – A 2018 Summer Scholar
All H&S students, including students in natural and computational sciences, as well as students in humanities, social/behavioral sciences, and creative arts, will apply through the single H&S Summer Scholars online application portal. Students applying through this portal will be considered for all available positions, including Dana Internships.
Most of the positions available through the program are open to all H&S students, regardless of need; a few programs require financial aid eligibility, such as the Dana Internships and Emerson Humanities Collaboration Awards. No additional application materials are required to be considered for these awards, but students must have a FAFSA on file by February 1 to receive consideration for positions supported by these programs.
Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Rachel Balzano at rbalzano@ithaca.edu or (607) 274-3409. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible.
