The Summer Research Academy is a program across University of Texas System universities in which students at any UT institution can apply to join a research program at any of the participating UT institutions. The Summer Research Academy begins at the end of May and goes until the first week of August. Students are paid a stipend of $3,000 for their work during the 10-week period during summer.
EOE Summer Research Academy will be postponed to Summer 2023. We will not open the application for the upcoming Summer 2022.
