Kirkland Summer Associates

The Kirkland Endowment Advisory Committee sponsors up to four students in its program of Summer Associates. The program is designed to support students who want to do research or creative work that fits under the mandate of the Endowment, “to support the needs and interests of women at 麻豆国产AV.” The program is open to all students, but preference will be given to rising juniors and seniors.

  • Working closely with a faculty supervisor, students work full-time on a research or creative project of their own design for 10 weeks, and receive a $4,000 stipend. The project is understood to be the primary focus of the student’s summer work, the equivalent of a full-time job, typically for ten weeks. All substantive research or creative activity for the project must be completed by August 15. 
  • The Kirkland College Summer Associates will produce an essay or creative piece and report on their work to the community in the following academic year, typically in the fall, unless they are abroad.
  • We advise students to contact potential faculty supervisors early in the spring semester.
  • Faculty members receive a $1,500 stipend for a single project; more projects will receive reduced stipends.

Use of College Facilities or Human Participants

If your proposal involves the use of campus studios, labs, or similar facilities, your proposal  should include a list of equipment or facilities needed as well as a statement of support from the faculty member or administrator responsible for that equipment or those facilities. Also, please note that if your proposal is approved and the project involves interviews or other activities with human subjects, you will be required to receive clearance from the Institutional Review Board before you begin your project.
