Students who receive a 2020 Summer Proctorship position will participate in a project-based, internship-style experience offered through a research, training, academic or administrative unit across campus. Summer proctorships provide eligible PhD students professional development opportunities for the Summer with a supplemental stipend of $3,400. They are intended for PhD students whose total summer support would otherwise fall below the equivalent of three months of the standard academic-year stipend amount ($8,758.68).

The time commitment expected is approximately 100 hours over Summer 2020. Students who have already applied for a Summer Fellowship ($2,000) should note that if they receive a Summer Proctorship Position (with a $3,400 stipend) it will take the full place of the Summer Fellowship (both awards cannot be maintained).

Applications are currently available in UFunds (under “Graduate School 2020 Summer Proctorships”). Descriptions of the opportunities are available on the Graduate School website. The application deadline is May 13. (To receive full consideration, applications should be submitted by that date.)
