Each summer, Marymount University\u2019s DISCOVER Research Program awards research fellowships to 15-18 Marymount students. These fellowships, available to both undergraduate and graduate Marymount students, provide a $1800 stipend for students who work one-on-one with a faculty mentor on the <\/span>faculty mentor\u2019s research project<\/b>. Students are selected for this award through a competitive process.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fellowship runs from May 13, 2024, through June 26, 2024. 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 6.5-week program.<\/span><\/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.<\/span><\/p>\n
