SURO will be returning in 2025! Sign up here to be notified when applications open, typically from January onward.


The UGA Chemistry Department is soliciting applications from outstanding undergraduates who are majoring in chemistry and related disciplines for our Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunities (SURO) program. Students accepted into the SURO program will join active research groups and participate in projects directed by faculty members. These students will be introduced to new and innovative areas of research in a variety of chemistry sub-disciplines through close interaction with faculty members and exposure to other research within the department. Several workshops/events are run as part of the SURO program, including an end of summer research symposium, student-led laboratory tours, and a round-table discussion with members of the UGA Chemistry Graduate Committee offering advice on the preparation of graduate school applications.

This year's program will begin Monday, June 3, 2024 and end Friday, August 2, 2024. Participants will receive a $5500 stipend.

Priority will be given to non-UGA students.
