The UD SOURCE (Summer Opportunities for Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors – formerly URS) program provides summer research opportunities for college students who are not currently enrolled at the University of Delaware. The program is designed to prepare, motivate, encourage and support students who want to learn more about the graduate school experience and possibly pursue an academic or research career.

As a scholar in this program, you will spend 10 weeks on the University of Delaware campus, immersed in a research project where you will work closely with faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. You will also learn first-hand about graduate programs at the University of Delaware and develop a valuable network of contacts who can support and assist you in applying to graduate school. The program will provide a stipend, as well as housing and round-trip transportation.

ELIGIBILITY

Participation in the summer program is restricted to students enrolled in U.S. institutions. The program is intended for students with a strong desire to pursue research careers at the Ph.D. level. The program is particularly interested in identifying and providing research experience to talented underserved students (e.g., first generation, historically underrepresented, disabled, low-income, etc.). Preference is given to students completing their sophomore or junior years.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

The University of Delaware Graduate College has incorporated the Undergraduate Research Scholars Application into its main application portall. This integration will allow us to pull information from previous applications such as a previous URS application into a new URS application or an application to a graduate program, streamlining the process for you.

If this is your first application with us, you will need to create a new account. The form will guide you through the process and log you in once the account has been made.

Once you are logged in, you can begin new applications as well as check the status of older applications.
