Maryland Sea Grant Summer 2025 REU program



Are you looking for a summer research internship studying ocean, coastal or environmental science? I invite you to check out the Maryland Sea Grant Summer REU program. We bring upper-level undergraduate students to the Chesapeake Bay to conduct individual research projects with a scientist-mentor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. We select undergrads in many disciplines, including engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, ecology and marine and environmental science. Our program runs for 12-weeks from May 18 to August 8, 2025.

Each REU fellow will receive:
  • $8,400 stipend
  • Free housing at your research lab
  • Round-trip travel expenses
In particular, we encourage students from colleges and universities where access to marine science and to research opportunities is limited and who are from groups traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math. We believe bringing together students from many disciplines, backgrounds and parts of the country makes for a more interesting and educational summer experience.

We are accepting applications for the 2025 class now through February 11. Please visit our website to find out more (www.mdsg.umd.edu/reu) or drop a note at reu@mdsg.umd.edu.
