The Humanities Center Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows (SURF) program supports undergraduate scholarship and creative projects during the summer months. 

Administered through the Office of Fellowships, Opportunities, and Undergraduate Research (FOUR), the Humanities Center will provide two awards, one for a humanities-related project and one for an arts-related project. Each fellowship carries a $4,500 stipend (rather than paying a wage) and students may request up to $500 for research expenses. In addition, the faculty supervisor of each awardee will receive $500 in professional development funds in recognition of their expected supervision of the project over the summer months.  

The two award categories are: 

• Humanities: For projects in fields including and/or encompassing literature, classics, religion, philosophy, history, art history, film and television studies, and cultural studies. 

• Creative Arts: For projects including and/or encompassing music, theater, film production, and studio art. 

Proposals will be judged on: 

• Intellectual and/or artistic substance 

• Promise of results 

• Preparation of applicant 

• Feasibility

These awards are managed by the Office of Fellowships, Opportunities, and Undergraduate Research (FOUR).
