Purdue Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship 2027

Purdue’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship gives students ten weeks to work with a research mentor and share their findings at a final symposium. Use the project options to find a group whose work matches the methods or subjects you want to explore.

Full-time undergraduates at Purdue and other institutions can apply, including international students. The programme lists a minimum GPA of 2.8 out of 4.0 and gives preference to students entering their junior or senior year.

The ten-week stipend is US$6,500. The programme lists a US$2,500 housing allowance for eligible students from outside Purdue. Check your expected housing and travel costs before accepting.

Review the project options, identify likely research matches and follow the SURF application instructions. If you need J-1 sponsorship, use the international deadline shown here and check the visa guidance before starting.
