Apply for Off-campus Summer Research
Travel. Learn. Connect.
Get paid to conduct research with some of the nation's top academics at universities, labs, or institutes through a summer research program. There are programs designed for students in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, and they often include a research stipend and housing. Such programs are a great way to enhance your education, meet new people, and explore a new city!
See URGO's website to find hundreds of off-campus research opportunities: http://www.augsburg.edu/urgo/research/off-campus-research/
Application deadlines for these programs are most often near the start of next semester (January, February), so Winter Break is the perfect time to get started! URGO will be hosting a workshop January 17 where students will receive one on one advising and feedback on their applications. Students are encouraged to send their application essays to urgo@augsburg.edu prior to the workshop to make the most of the time.
