What is the SROP?
The Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) provides an opportunity for direct involvement in research and a taste of graduate student life at a world class university. Throughout its 24-year history, the mission of the SROP has been to increase diversity among students pursuing graduate education and to provide valuable academic research experiences. The program is eight weeks in length, from June 21 through August 13, 2010, and includes faculty-supervised research, enrichment activities that prepare students for the graduate school application process (i.e. GRE workshop & application workshop) and a research conference.
Who can apply?
Current sophomores and juniors with a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher are eligible to apply. Students from groups traditionally underrepresented in graduate schools (African-Americans, Hispanics, & Native-Americans) are encouraged to apply. Please note that applicants interested in pursuing an MBA, JD, or MD are not eligible for this program.
Funding
Each SROP participant will receive a stipend of $4000. Northwestern will also provide complimentary campus housing and a $450 campus meal subsidy, in addition to covering round trip air-fare and related ground travel expenses for all SROP participants who will be traveling to Northwestern from outside of the Chicago area.
Application Deadline
The application deadline is February 8, 2010. For more information and to access the on-line application, please visit the following web site: http://www.tgs.northwestern.edu/studentlife/multiculturaloffice/research/srop/
