Townsend Center G.R.O.U.P. Apprenticeships

The program pairs faculty members and undergraduate students in summer research projects, allowing students to develop new skills under the guidance of a faculty mentor and to experience the rigor and excitement of academic research in an area of their interest. UC Berkeley undergraduate students in the humanities or social sciences are eligible to apply. Seniors are eligible only if they are continuing in fall. Once the Apprenticeship mentors have been selected, the undergraduate apprenticeship guidelines and application materials will be available on the Townsend Center’s website. One undergraduate apprentice will be selected for each awarded project. Faculty will be awarded up to $5,000 in research expenses. Undergraduate apprentices will be awarded a $2,500 summer stipend. Faculty and students will also be expected to evaluate the apprenticeship at the end of the summer program.
