Apply Now! Summer Undergraduate Research Program through the Statistics Department (SURP-Stats) 2024
This in-person (on campus) program matches students with faculty across campus doing research that includes statistics and/or data science. Students will also participate in regular lunch meetings with their peers, attend talks and professional development opportunities, and present at a final poster session. We are looking forward to fostering a supportive sense of community among our researchers!
Students who are selected for the program will receive a stipend of $7,500, with a needs-based supplement (of up to $1,500) for eligible students.
The program is 10 weeks long, starting on June 24, 2024 and ending on August 30, 2024. The deadline to apply is February 4, 2024 at 11:59pm. Stanford undergraduate students from any department who meet the prerequisites are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to students in the Mathematical & Computational Science (MCS) and Data Science (B.S. and B.A.) programs.
