The Curry School of Education at UVA would like to invite current junior students to take part in the SURP program. The 2018 SURP Application is now available, so please forward to interested students!
The Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) is a 10-week internship that provides undergraduates from underrepresented groups with valuable research and professional development experience.
SURP interns will:
- Present research at Leadership Alliance National Symposium (LANS) as well as a UVA research symposium.
- Work hands-on in research with UVA faculty mentor(s) and graduate student mentor(s).
- Participate in workshops on research methods and the grad school application process, and enroll in an intensive GRE preparation course.
How we support SURP interns:
- A $3000 stipend and some travel and meal expenses.
- Housing in a university residence hall.
Eligible interns must:
- Be a member of a group that is underrepresented in educational research.
- Be a current junior, with 2 semesters or less to complete after the internship.
- Other requirements are highlighted on the SURP website.
Charlottesville and UVA has been the site of protests during the past year. Our faculty and staff acknowledge that this is a difficult time for many people, and we strive to promote social justice and equity in all of our programming. Interns will have the opportunity to conduct research that impacts youth, and witness firsthand how UVA is moving forward.
