Off Campus Summer Research Program 

CSLI SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM 2018 
 
Join us at Stanford for an interdisciplinary summer research experience program in the cognitive sciences!
 
8 week program from 6/25/18 - 8/17/18, and is primarily intended for rising college Juniors and Seniors, though we will consider other applicants as well.
One goal of the internship is to increase the diversity of the graduate school pipeline, and we therefore especially encourage applicants who come from groups that are historically underrepresented in research careers, such as Black/African American, Latinx/Hispanic, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Pacific Islander, and first-generation college students.  

We also welcome applications from students without prior research experience and from non-research institutions.  

 
Application Closes -  February 16, 2018
