SROP, one of U-M's most dynamic recruitment efforts, is intended to prepare students outside institutions to pursue Ph.D.s in the biological, physical sciences, engineering and social sciences. During the annual 8-week program, between 30 to 50 undergraduates from around the U.S. and Puerto Rico reside on campus while they conduct research alongside U-M researchers. Along with free room and board, they receive a $4,000 stipend, professional development classes, (graduate record exam) training and a fee waiver if they choose to apply to a Rackham doctoral program.
