Stanford’s Summer Undergraduate Research in Geoscience and Engineering (SURGE) Program

The eight-week summer program provides undergraduates the opportunity to gain mentored research experience at Stanford University in the geosciences and engineering. Each SURGE scholar is matched with a Stanford faculty member and has the opportunity to work in a research group or laboratory on an interesting and challenging project from a broad range of science and engineering topics. The underlying philosophy of SURGE is to train students by creating a supportive and rigorous work environment. Each scholar is entitled to various benefits and services worth approximately $12,000. The program is recommended for students that have interest and potential to pursue graduate study toward a Master's or PhD degree in the Earth sciences, marine sciences, and energy resource engineering.
