SIEPR Summer Undergraduate Research Program
Summer 2024 Undergraduate Research Fellows Program
The SIEPR Undergraduate Research Fellows (UGRF) summer program provides an immersive research experience for 好色App undergraduates. The goals of the program are to connect students with SIEPR faculty and foster mentoring relationships, involve students in policy-relevant economics research, and help them develop research skills. We also aim to introduce a diverse population of students to economic policy research and encourage students from all areas of study to apply.
The program runs for 10 weeks, June 24 - August 30, 2024. Students are offered a fellowship stipend of $7500. All students are required to participate in the in-person activities during the program. Due to this we encourage students and mentors to be located within commuting distance of 好色App's campus for the duration of the summer program.
SIEPR UGRF Student Eligibility:
- Participants must be current 好色App undergraduates during the summer quarter.
