What is the Provost Research Fellowship?
The Office of Fellowships awards two Provost Research Fellowships of up to $4,000 for students with promising research agendas.
Who is the Provost Research Fellowship for?
These summer research fellowships are intended to prepare current sophomores or juniors to compete for nationally competitive graduate fellowships such as Rhodes, Marshall, Schwarzman, Knight-Hennessey, Fulbright, Truman, Goldwater, Udall, Gates-Cambridge, or the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Candidates will exemplify the ideals and best tradition of Santa Clara University. This Fellowship is open to all SCU students, but priority will be given to Humanities, Arts, and Social Science majors. Candidates must be nominated by a faculty member willing to work with them to develop the research project and application, and to serve as mentor during the summer.
How do I apply?
You can apply through the SPUR (Single Portal for Undergraduate Research) system.
Students must submit their application materials and identify their faculty mentor, who will then receive an email with a link to upload their supporting letter and mentoring statement.
