The Maryland Summer Scholars Program Scholarship

The Maryland Summer Scholars Program (MSS) provides opportunities for University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) undergraduates to spend much of the summer working closely with faculty mentors on ambitious research, scholarly, or artistic projects. The MSS program provides awards of $3,000 to approximately 25-30 undergraduates each summer.

Many Summer Scholars expand their summer research into an independent study or honors thesis project the following autumn semester, and find that their research experience helps distinguish their applications for graduate study, fellowships, internships, employment and other competitive opportunities.

Maryland Summer Scholars (MSS) may conduct their summer research on the College Park campus or elsewhere in the U.S. or abroad as required by the nature of the project. Students whose projects require travel for an extended period of time to off campus locations (not to include regular commuting) may submit a travel supplement request as directed in the online application form. Travel supplements will not exceed $1,000.

Eligibility: You are eligible to apply for an MSS award: if you have earned 12 or more UMD course credits (not including AP or IB credits) by the date of the application deadline; if you have a cumulative UMD GPA of 3.40 or higher by the date of the application deadline; and if you expect to receive your undergraduate degree no earlier than December 2020. All academic majors are eligible.

Application Deadline: The deadline to apply for summer 2020 awards will be Thursday, February 13, 2020. It is important that candidates begin developing their proposals as soon as possible.

The Maryland Center for Undergraduate Research will hold numerous 30-minute information sessions about the summer 2020 MSS program. Select a session and RSVP by clicking here.

Fiscal Fallout Contest - Win $5000!

Win $5,000 from Our Fiscal Fallout Contest November 15, 2019 The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget is now accepting submissions for our new  Fiscal Fallout Contest, where students are given the opportunity to put a human face on the  consequences of high and rising federal debt. The winner will receive $5,000. Enter Our Fiscal Fallout Contest Here The federal budget deficit will exceed $1 trillion this year, and the national debt as a share of the  economy will reach its highest point outside of World War II. In the coming years, debt will continue  to grow rapidly. As Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently testified to Congress, “the federal budget is on an unsustainable path.” The consequences of high and rising debt include slower income growth, less ability to combat the next recession, rising debt service payments, entitlement programs on the brink of insolvency, increased  burdens on future generations, and a higher risk of an eventual fiscal crisis. While these consequences are alarming, they are hard to personalize. It is difficult to visualize the  damage debt can cause for individuals, families, and businesses around the country. The  Fiscal Fallout Contest is an opportunity for those who would be most affected by the national debt, students, to demonstrate the human consequences of debt. The Fiscal Fallout Contest asks students to create a compelling multimedia presentation  (video, podcast, short story, song, storyboard, etc,) portraying the human and societal impact of our unsustainable fiscal situation. Entrees could focus on any potential long-term consequences of debt – whether a spike in interest  rates, stagnant wages, or some type of fiscal crisis – the choice is theirs! The goal is to humanize the risks and costs associated with the debt, and to win $5,000 in the process. Enter Our Fiscal Fallout Contest Here Who: Open to current high school, college, and graduate students What: A contest to raise awareness about the national debt When: Submissions due March 1, 2020 Top Prize: $5,000 (what the U.S. spends every half-second on interest on the debt). Second and  third place prizes of $1,000 and $500. Submissions now being accepted! More information available at: http://www.crfb.org/fiscal-fallout-contest #FiscalFallout For questions please contact Ben Tomchik at tomchik@crfb.org
