Posner Fellowship Program

Posner Fellowship Program

About

A Posner Fellowship supports eight weeks of full-time summer research in a closely mentored relationship with a faculty.  The program is aimed at students the summer before their sophomore year and prioritizes students who identify as first generation, low income, and/or attended an under-resourced high school. The application process begins in January. This program is limited to students who are in Weinberg College (as distinct from having a major in Weinberg as a student in another school, such as SESP or School of Communication). Students who accept a Posner Fellowship may not be employed otherwise during the eight week period and must live on campus. Housing is covered by the program for the 8-weeks.
