Summer Research Fellowships for International Students at Rochester

The program is meant for students that intend to enter a Ph.D. program in any area of Chemistry in the Fall of 2017.  While there is some flexibility on the starting date, typically students start mid May/early June. The fellowship includes a monthly stipend of $2000 USD and a contribution toward travel expenses of up to $1000. The stipend is meant to cover living expenses and any required health insurance. The University’s International Student Office will assist each student in securing on-campus housing and a US Visa for the summer.We believe this program will provide an excellent opportunity for students to accomplish cutting-edge summer research in a unique University environment. In addition, the city of Rochester, New York offers an outstanding array of cultural activities throughout the summer that will enhance the experience of any visiting student. Because the program is highly competitive, we ask that you only refer students that show outstanding promise for advanced research.

We have constructed an online form for students to apply. The link is:
