Each summer, Marymount University\u2019s DISCOVER Research Program awards student research fellowships to 15-18 Marymount students. These fellowships, available to both undergraduate and graduate Marymount students, provide a financial stipend for students who work one-on-one with a faculty mentor on the faculty mentor\u2019s research project.<\/strong><\/span> Students are selected for this award through a competitive process.<\/p>\n Both in-person and remote student participation options are available based on the needs of the individual projects. The fellowship promises to be a very positive learning experience and an exceptional opportunity for professional growth and mentorship.<\/p>\n The Fellowship runs from May 19 , 2025, through June 27, 2025. In addition to the research activities, Fellows participate in weekly community-building, educational, and information-sharing sessions created specifically for the Fellows program. Students are expected to dedicate 12-15 hours weekly to the Fellowship during the 6-week fellowship program.<\/p>\n A list of faculty projects for summer 2025 will be posted here. You will be able to scroll through the full list of available topics.<\/p>\n A list of projects for prior years (see the link on the left) gives a sense of past projects. However, projects change every year so wait for the 2025 posting to see the specific projects offered for summer of 2025.<\/p>\n Students can apply for up to three different Fellowship projects.
