Clark Summer Research Program
UT Dallas is a leading institution for scientific research that has attracted the brightest minds since its founding. The Anson L. Clark Foundation established the Clark Summer Research Program in 1968. The program allows incoming first-year students at UT Dallas to join active research groups to launch their research careers through an intensive summer experience.
“Clarkies” have gone on to successful careers in academia and industry and earned Goldwater Undergraduate Research Fellowships, Fulbright Research Awards, NSF Graduate Fellowships, and other recognition and financial support. Learn more from one of our recent graduates, Sreoshi Sen Chowdhury.
