"My summer research experience supported by the Yale College Dean's Fellowship was very positive and enriching.... It gave me the opportunity to continue my research through the summer, which would not have been possible otherwise.... In addition, I felt the program provided me an invaluable opportunity to talk with other scientists and students who are interested in pursuing similar paths in research and academia."

Stipend support of $3320-$4150 is normally granted for a full time 8-10 week summer research experience under the supervision of a Yale University faculty member. When necessitated by the academic objectives of the project, research experiences of shorter or longer duration or intensity may be considered for support at proportionate levels. In exceptional cases, support may be considered for other research-related expenses. Currently enrolled freshmen, sophomores and juniors are eligible to apply.
