The University of Wisconsin - Madison Computer Sciences
Department annually awards several summer Research Assistantships.
These awards provide two months of summer support to outstanding students
who are undergraduates or first year graduate students during the
preceding academic year.
The principal criteria for RA selection are academic excellence and
the quality of the expected outcomes of the proposed research project.
Students who receive the award are advised by the nominating faculty
member during the summer and give a 30-minute presentation
on their results in a special seminar during the Fall semester.
Students are encouraged to contact Computer Sciences professors with whom
they might want to work to discuss possible topics. For graduate students,
it is expected that the nominating professor will contribute one half of
the funding for the 2-month RAship.
RAship Sponsors
CS summer RAships are funded by Department discretionary funds
that are available due to the generosity of our Industrial Affiliates.
