The UCSB Summer Research Program for Undergraduates offers upper-division undergraduate students with outstanding academic potential the opportunity to work closely with faculty mentors on mathematics research projects for eight weeks during summer 2022. The program dates are June 20 - August 12.

This program is financially supported by the National Science Foundation.

The program has been designed for students who wish to learn more about the research experience and possibly pursue an academic career in teaching and research. Each student participant will be working individually or in a small group with a faculty mentor in one of the proposed research projects.

Participating students receive a stipend of $6,000. We will NOT provide housing or any other financial support this year (due to reduced budget) but we will be able to help finding housing for participants, who can pay for it out of their stipend, or participants can choose to participate in our program remotely.

The participants should devote their full time to the program and not engage in any other coursework or employment during the eight weeks that the program lasts.

Students participating in this program must be United States citizens or permanent residents. Also, students who have already received their bachelor's degree or are graduating seniors are not eligible.
