Student Summer Scholar Application Process

The application is a collaborative effort between the potential student scholar and faculty mentor.  A student may propose a research or creative project to a faculty member or a faculty member may actively recruit a student for full-time work during the twelve-week spring/summer session. 

We are now accepting the 2010 S3 Applications.  Please apply online by January 22, 2010, 5:00 PM.

To review the application used for the 2010 process, please refer to the Text Application.  Please also review the Scoring Rubric URC will use to assess the applications.  Traditionally, the application has six sections:

1.  Project Goals/Scope
2.  Project Feasibility
3.  Faculty Narrative: Quality of Student Learning Experience
4.  Student Narrative: Qualifications and Motivation
5.  Commitment to Project
6.  Dissemination Plan

Faculty Eligibility
All tenured, tenure-track, visiting, and affiliate GVSU faculty are eligible to sponsor S3 students. Faculty will commit an appropriate portion of their time to effectively and actively mentor a student; they will be expected to have a limited teaching load for Spring/Summer semester.

Faculty are expected to disclose any, pending or successful, applications for additional funding during the Spring/Summer Semester.
