Summer Research Program Application

Unique to the Department of Chemistry at University of Toronto we offer the Summer Research Program for domestic students registering in September. The experience that a summer research fellow will gain from the program will tend to reduce time to obtain your degree and increase chances of producing publications in the near future. These publications are important for future scholarship applications and prospective career goals.

Up to $5,000 or $1250/month in funding is available to start research in the summer before the official start date in September. Incoming students must stay for at least three of the four months of the summer (May-August). This will give a summer research fellow a chance to work for any Chemistry faculty member and still have the opportunity to work with a different thesis advisor in September. This fellowship cannot be combined with any other source of research funding.

Students must have applied to our graduate program by the Early Deadline of February 1 and forwarded their School of Graduate Studies Acceptance Form by April 15 to the Chemistry Graduate Office to be eligible to enroll in the program.

To participate in the program, please fill out the SummerResearch Program Supervisor Selection Ballot (PDF) as well as the payroll forms. Forward necessary documents by FAX to 416-978-1631, regular mail or drop off in person to the Chemistry Graduate Office (Lash Miller Building, Room 153, 80 St. George Street) by April 15.
