The University of Missouri has more than 60 slots in our AWESOME summer program for visiting students!
In addition to providing a full time research experience and end-of-the-summer poster session, we organize evening seminars, specialty small group seminars, and orientation and social activities designed to create a supportive peer community. Many of our seminars focus on professional development, tailored to different levels of student experience. We provide students and faculty the tools they need to quickly establish a productive mentoring relationship. And Columbia, Missouri is a great place to get away from distractions for the summer, and focus on research and professional development at a major research university — Big Time research with the Small Town touch!
Stipends range from $3400-$6000 and on-campus room & board.
