Academic Year Fellowships

Academic Year Fellowships, unlike their summer counterparts, are fewer and far between - make sure to get your applications in early!

Quad Research Grants for the Academic Year 

 The Quad Summer Undergraduate Research Grants program offers research grants that are competitive, open-discipline awards intended to enhance the educational experience of University of Chicago College students by supporting summer scholarly undergraduate research and creative inquiry experiences through active participation in faculty-mentored research. Quad Summer Undergraduate Research Scholars are expected to participate in the annual scholars programming held during the academic year following their summer appointment and to present their summer research at the the annual University of Chicago Undergraduate Research Symposium held each May.

Complete description and application instructions can be found at the Chicago Center for Research and Fellowships (CCRF) website.
