03/01/2024

The Summer Award for Research Courses (SARC) is a tuition award offered for a wide range of Maymester and Summer Session I and II courses. It gives students the opportunity to enroll in research courses during the summer session. The award covers tuition for one three-hour research-intensive course for the student and provides $1000 for research supplies to faculty mentors teaching the mentored undergraduate research course.

All full-time undergraduates enrolled in a research course in a baccalaureate program at UNC-Chapel Hill and who are in good academic standing are eligible to apply. To receive the Summer Award for Research Courses, undergraduates must also be enrolled in both the semester before (Spring) and semester after (Fall) completion of the course. Rising seniors will receive priority.

Applications are due by April 10, 2024. For more information about SARCs, eligibility, and the application, please visit the Office for Undergraduate Research’s (OUR) website.
