If you are planning a summer project in the Upper Valley (whether that be at Geisel/DH/WRJVA/or other community practice) we encourage you to apply for federal work study grant funds. $2500 will be provided per student for summer research. The major requirements are that you must be receiving financial aid at Geisel and that you are working on-site in the Upper Valley for the summer project.
