Maurice Price Foundation Summer Research Internships
Endowed in 2016 through the generosity of the Maurice Price Foundation, internships are made available annually by the Director of the College of the Humanities, to promising, full-time students proceeding from one year to another in a program within the College of the Humanities. These internships are intended to assist full-time returning undergraduate students in gaining summer research experience.
Students are invited to submit a research project that they propose to work on during the summer of 2026 in collaboration with a College faculty member. This summer we have one internship worth $3000, for which the awardee is expected to conduct 120 hours of research. This represents a time commitment of at least a .5 credit course and recipients are required to a) have regular meetings with their supervisor and b) produce a report on their research, or a potential colloquium presentation, equivalent to a major term paper.
Interested students should send an application by email with the following information to the Undergraduate Administrator, Andrea McIntyre.
- Resumé with student number and year/program indicated.
- A detailed description of a proposed research project (no more than one single-spaced page), setting out the project you would like to research and what skills and experiences you hope to gain through this program.
A statement of support from a College faculty member who is willing to supervise the project is also required and may be sent separately to Andrea. At the end of the internship, the awardee is expected to submit a brief summary of research in early September that may be posted on the College website and also present their research at the Welcome Reception for all students in September.
The deadline for summer 2026 is March 15th. Applicants will be notified by email regarding the success of their application early April.
