Summer Scholarship, Creative Arts and Research Projects Program

The Summer Scholarship, Creative Arts and Research Projects (SCARP) program was created to support independent student research under the sponsorship of a faculty mentor. The program is a non-credit experiential learning program designed to enhance professional skills and provide a competitive advantage to participating students in the pursuit of career opportunities and graduate studies. At the same time, participating faculty scholars and researchers will benefit from student involvement in support of professional scholarship and research agendas.

For participating in the program, students will receive a training stipend, room and board for the duration of their projects (from 3 to 10 weeks), and a professional experience as part of a scholarship/research community. They will also benefit from highly personalized mentoring from active researchers and scholars.

SCARP has been approved as a supervised research option that fulfills one of the two required Signature Learning Experiences (SLE) for Elizabethtown College students. Read more about SCARP and other Signature Learning Experiences here.

Previous projects can be found on the JayScholar @ Etown website.

Applications for Summer SCARP 2021 will be accepted from Jan. 13 through Feb. 3

Faculty can access the application through Jayweb. The proposal/application template can be viewed here for your convenience. This template should be attached to your proposal on Jayweb and can also be found on Jayweb. Applications are due by 5 p.m. on February 3, 2021.
