Bilski-Mayer Fellowships for Summer Research
Supported by a generous donation, the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences awards a few students each year with Bilski-Mayer fellowships for summer research, in the amount of $5000. BCS and Neuroscience majors are eligible, and strong students who have already begun to engage in research are especially competitive. Students must be nominated for support by their faculty research advisor. Faculty are generally asked to provide matching support to maximize the number of students who can be supported.
Meliora Fellowships
Starting in late fall of 2021, the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences will announce a new program that will award up to 5 Meliora summer research fellowships for underrepresented minorities (URM) and/or first-generation students. Meliora fellowships will provide a $5000 stipend to each student to conduct research over the summer of 2022. The goal of these fellowships is to increase access to research opportunities for students who have not had much previous research experience. Faculty are encouraged to reach out to promising 1st and 2nd year students in their classes to apply.
