Eligibility
The Summer Institute (SI) is available only to newly admitted recipients of Rackham Merit Fellowships (RMF), Rackham Engineering Awards (REA), Rackham Science Awards (RSA), and Rackham Merit Fellowship students in Education, Psychology, and in the Program in Biomedical Sciences (PIBS), who are pursuing a Ph.D..
Invitations to participate in the SI will be sent directly to eligible students receiving merit fellowship awards beginning in late February. Late fellowships awarded by departments will delay notification of SI eligibility.
Participation in the SI is not a competitive application process, but students must register online no later than April 23, 2012. Students are guaranteed a space, if their registration is completed by the deadline. The registration process has multiple parts, so early registration is encouraged.
