Carleton University Research Opportunity (CUROP) (undergraduate)

As part of the Carleton University Research Opportunity Program (CUROP), the Faculty of Public Affairs  hosts summer undergraduate research internships. This is a student-led initiative. In collaboration with a faculty member, each student participant will design their own research project and complete it over the summer.

Students will receive a stipend of $7500 (this sum includes 4% vacation pay and statutory holidays) over the course of the summer. The expectation is that the research project undertaken will constitute a full-time, or near full-time, opportunity during the summer terms.
