Kirkland Summer Associates
- Working closely with a faculty supervisor, students work full-time on a research or creative project of their own design for 10 weeks, and receive a $5,250 stipend.
- The Kirkland College Summer Associates will produce an essay or creative piece and report on their work to the community in the following academic year, typically in the fall, unless they are abroad.
- We advise students to contact potential faculty supervisors early in the spring semester.
- Faculty members receive a $1,500 stipend for the first project.
