Every summer, Charles Center awards over half a million dollars in grants to fund summer undergraduate research in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
There are two categories of grants available through the online application, open to undergraduate students in every major:
Summer Research Grant: Unless otherwise noted, these awards are $4,000 to support seven full-time weeks of research. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are eligible to apply.
Honors Fellowship: These awards are $5,000 to support ten full-time weeks of pre-Honors research. Juniors planning to complete Departmental Honors during their senior year are eligible to apply.
The online application is now closed. The 2025 application will reopen in late October and and will be due February 17, 2025.
