Student Information

Submission deadline: February 21, 2025

The McGregor Summer Research program offers students in the humanities, arts, and social sciences excellent opportunities to earn money while working collaboratively with faculty members on their research. The schedule includes weekly meetings exploring the life of a scholar, as well as social events for students and faculty.

NOTE: Students graduating in (or before) August 2025 are not eligible for the fellowship program.

The summer fellowship openings will be posted in the Workday Jobs Hub by January 30.

Please note:

• You must meet with your prospective faculty mentor before you apply. This will give both parties some idea of how well your interests and abilities align with faculty expectations for the project.
• You must be available to work 40 hours a week from May 12-July 22.  You must have access to your own transportation to campus, and be in Grand Rapids during the majority of the fellowship period. All students and mentors will break for the week of June 16-June 20.  You may not hold a second job without special permission from your faculty member and the McGregor director. Such permission is not typically granted.
• You must attach a copy of your unofficial transcript to your application. If you have not already prepared it, please do so before filling out the application. See Academic Services Transcript Request (bottom of the page) for instructions. Attach to your job application as a .pdf document to your application.
