Summer Student Research Assistant Program
LMU's Coastal Research Institute (CRI) Summer Internship Program provides hands-on learning opportunities using applied science in restoration, environmental monitoring, and ongoing research projects. This opportunity is available to Seaver College undergraduate students each summer with continuous work during the following academic year. This program provides students with a $2,500 summer scholarship to work closely with a project mentor for 25-30 hours per week over the 6-week Summer Session I period. Housing over the summer is available on a limited basis. There is an additional $500 available for the 20-30 hours of work completed over the subsequent academic year.
