University Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)

Fellowships for The University of New Haven students to conduct in-depth, hands-on research, working in collaboration with a faculty mentor in an area of study

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program enables students to conduct in-depth, hands-on research, working in collaboration with a faculty mentor. Since the inception of the program in 2007, more than 130 students have been selected to participate. Students selected for SURF will submit a research proposal, conduct their research over the summer, submit a final paper and present their findings at a campus research symposium.  Students receive a stipend plus a budget for materials and supplies needed to conduct the research.

The SURF program welcomes applications from undergraduate students from all majors including sciences and engineering, humanities and arts, education, criminal justice and forensic sciences, and the social sciences.
