The Lisa J. Raines and AAP Summer Research Fellowship is an opportunity for Georgetown sophomores and juniors to receive funding to conduct independent summer research. Administered by the Georgetown Office of Fellowships , Awards, and Resources for Undergraduates (GOFAR), the Raines provides $5000 to successful applicants to design, investigate, and produce an original research project over the course of ten weeks.
The skills gained trough securing and completing a Raines are invaluable assets to a student's academic and postgraduate goals. Students will hone their analytical, writing, and time management skills while they conceive a project idea to present their original findings. Past winners include Emilia Brahm (SFS '16) who wrote about Tymoteusz Karpowicz and Alexander O'Neill (COL '15) who researched botany in Nepal. For more information on the topics past Raines recipients have researched, click here.
To apply for the Rhodes, students will need to submit a 1000 word essay describing the proposed project of study, a ten-week timeline, a resume, transcript (may be unofficial), and a letter of support. For more information on applying to the Raines, please follow this link.
