Examples of Scholarly Activity may include abstract, manuscript preparation, library research, presentation (invited, national regional), book chapter or book review, conference paper or software program as in a survey research.
Project Proposal Form
Stipends are provided to SHP Students to work on Research or a Scholarly Activity Project. It will be awarded to each student who completes an agreed upon project in a six to eight week period during the summer.
Interns must be SHP graduate students, with preference given to students who are less than half way through their Program.
