College of Social Sciences
The College of Social Sciences Emerging Scholars is a high-impact program created to foster an inclusive and supported mentorship experience for undergraduate students.
COSS Emerging Scholars takes an assets-based approach to empowering students by providing them with funded undergraduate research and creative experiences that directly apply to their existing interests or help shape their research, academic, or professional interests.
While inclusive of all undergraduate COSS majors in good academic standing, the program has a particular emphasis on students who have traditionally been excluded from research opportunities and/or may not have envisioned themselves as student researchers/scholars.
During either a semester or over the academic year, student scholars will work alongside their COSS faculty mentor on a research, creative, or community outreach project designed by the faculty member.
All COSS tenure-line faculty and lecturers are eligible and encouraged to submit a proposal.
The selection committee with pair up selected faculty members with selected student applicants.
• Selection will conclude by end of Fall 2024 semester
• Faculty mentors and students can anticipate some bridge activities in Spring 2025
• Project work will begin in the Fall 2025
Completed applications are due on Thursday 9/26/24 by 5:00 PM
