Extra trips and trips for visiting faculty may be awarded if funds remain after deadlines. Please read the complete instructions before submitting an application. There are a few special grant and research opportunities, including the Hirsch Research Initiation Grant Program and the Downing College Visiting Faculty Program. Descriptions of these two programs are given in the web pages shown below. The College has several competitive programs that offer students and faculty the opportunity to collaborate on scholarly work.
Summer projects can vary from four to ten weeks in length.
Some of the summer programs involve continued work during the school year. Student participants in the summer research programs present the results of their projects at the Pomona College Summer Research Poster Conference in September, 2001. The application process is described in the instructions for each program. Applications submitted by the deadline are reviewed by the Research Committee shortly thereafter and the students and professors notified. The application is slightly different for each program, so read instructions carefully.
