Applications for Summer Scholars (June 9-11, 2025) are now open until March 1, 2025. Encourage eligible students to apply. Summer Scholars get an opportunity to “live the life of the mind” as part of an intensive program from which many participants have subsequently gone on to graduate school and careers in academia. Participants will meet each day from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. to work as research assistants with faculty mentors from the Smith Institute.
