Do you have a research question inside you? 

A question worth the effort of research and the rewards of discovery? 

Would one-on-one faculty guidance and a $1500 stipend help you find more rewarding avenues of inquiry?

The Office of College Houses and Academic Services is now accepting proposals for 2018-19 College House Research Program Fellowships! We're accepting proposals relevant to any academic field and at all research levels; each House will select only one research fellow* to receive the $1500 award, which will be paid over the 18-month period of the Research Fellowship (January 2018 – May 2019).

Look for research-related workshops in the coming weeks, put together by your College House’s faculty and senior staff as well as the current student Research Fellows, who were chosen in last year’s competition.  These faculty, staff, and students are also available to meet with individual residents to answer questions about writing a research proposal, finding research resources, and identifying a faculty advisor for a student’s particular project interests.

Application Deadline

Visit www.collegehouses.upenn.edu/research and submit an application, which should include your project proposal, by Friday, December 1, 2017. Winning proposals will be announced by January 12, 2018. 

Eligibility

All freshmen, sophomores, and juniors currently living in a College House are eligible. Research beginners are welcome to apply as long as they have an interesting idea and lots of enthusiasm.
