SURF
The SURF program entails a 10-week Summer Undergraduate Research experience at the University of Florida. SURF provides the opportunity to work with a premier faculty adviser and a senior Ph.D. student mentor. Students will engage in research and spend in-depth time furthering their path to applying and enrolling in a Ph.D. program at the University of Florida. All participants will receive preferred Ph.D. admission and fellowship offers provided they have a successful summer experience and maintain their high academic performance through completing their bachelor’s degree. UF pays all costs for SURF participants including room and some board, a $5,000 summer stipend, round-trip flights/mileage to Gainesville, summer workshops, social events/activities, and a GRE test prep course.
