Some focus on a specific field of study; others are open to students in any field. Some provide financial support for study abroad; others for continuing studies at your home institution. Some - undergraduate scholarships - provide funding for you while you are completing your undergraduate degree; others - post-graduate scholarships - you apply for while you are an undergraduate for funding to continue your education after you have completed your undergraduate degree. Scholarships and fellowships typically have specific eligibility requirements such as a specific number of hours or GPA. Nearly all require a good to excellent academic record; some expect involvement in research or community service or leadership experience; a few also consider financial need. The Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies provides information about these opportunities and support for students interested in preparing applications. Undergraduate and Post-Graduate Scholarships
FUNDED SUMMER RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIESTemple Summer Research OpportunitiesTemple offers several opportunities for students to engage in summer research. The Diamond Research Scholars program and Creative Arts, Research, And Scholarship (CARAS) Program provide funding to support students undertaking projects under the direction of a faculty mentor. More information. Summer Research Opportunities beyond TempleA summer research experience provides an ideal way to develop your understanding of a field of study, learn how to do research in the field, and explore your interests in continuing your education beyond your undergraduate degree. While many opportunities are in science and biomedical research, there are opportunities for students in a number of other areas of study. Funding often includes a stipend, housing and board allowance, and the cost of travel to the research location. If you are interested, you should begin exploring the opportunities in the fall when the programs for the following summer begin to be posted, and apply early. INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIESTemple InternshipsThe Career Center provides a valuable resource for students interested in undertaking an internship either during the summer or during the academic year. Some opportunities are available on campus. More Information. Internships beyond TempleInternships provide a valuable experiential learning opportunity - a time to learn more about how organizations work and how you can make a difference. There are two basic types of internships - paid and unpaid. Opportunities provide work experience in a particular field of study or an organization focused on a particular issue, topic, or concern. Some provide experiences in government-related agencies; others in non-profit organizations. A few also provide scholarship support for successful interns. Many opportunities are in Washington, D.C. and New York. There are likely others available locally in your major; consult with your department to find out about those opportunities.
