Emerging Scholars Internship
Program Overview
What is the Emerging Scholars Internship?
The Emerging Scholars internship is an opportunity for students at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), including 1890 land-grant institutions, to conduct research with College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) faculty and reside on the University of Georgia campus in Athens. This seven-week program is intended for students who are planning to attend graduate school in agriculture or related sciences and are interested in research.
Emerging Scholars will pursue hands-on research projects with CAES scientists to prepare for potential graduate studies. Interns will receive a monthly stipend and housing allowance and will be co-mentored by faculty scientists from their home university and CAES. All Emerging Scholars will conduct supervised research on agricultural and environmental science topics and prepare a scientific research paper and presentation at the end of the project.
