Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship: eligibility & how to apply

Who can apply?

• The published undergraduate route is for current sophomores and juniors.
• The program is full time and based at Rockefeller University in New York.
• Use the next published cycle to confirm citizenship, enrollment, dates, and any project-specific conditions.

Dates, pay & program timing

The last published cohort ran June 1–August 7, 2026 and provided a $6,500 stipend, with housing for fellows unable to commute. That cycle is past; no 2027 cutoff is inferred.

How to apply to The Rockefeller University

1. Read the current SURF page and application procedures when the next cycle is published.
2. Identify research areas that connect to your coursework without claiming a guaranteed laboratory match.
