The Stanford Summer Fellows Program (SSFP) is an 8-week summer residential cohort program for rising sophomores and first-year transfers seeking to explore research, strengthen academic confidence, and build community with peers as they enter their second year at Stanford. Fellows take a course satisfying the WR2 requirement, engage in introductory research with a faculty member or faculty-led group, and participate in workshops that guide them along the research process. SSFP’s cohort model creates a supportive environment where students from diverse backgrounds learn together, build community, and navigate Stanford with a shared sense of belonging. Tuition, housing, and dining are fully covered during the program and fellows receive a stipend intended to support expenses related to the summer research experience, ensuring that students can participate without financial barriers.
