Description:
The University of Michigan Linguistics Department invites you to apply to the
Humanities Emerging Research Scholars (MICHHERS) program:
http://www.rackham.umich.edu/michhers.

This all expenses paid program will bring talented undergraduate and MA
students to Ann Arbor for a 14-day workshop to help you prepare to apply to a
PhD in Linguistics, and to give you an overview of the opportunities and
resources available for students at the University of Michigan, including
Linguistics.  You will meet with faculty and PhD students to talk about
research in linguistics, and will have the opportunity to work on your own
research project under the guidance of U-M Linguistics faculty and current PhD
students.  The event will also include a graduate application workshop and
social gatherings with faculty and current graduate students from Linguistics
and other disciplines.

The application deadline is February 9, 2018.  See link for application
materials you should submit, including statements and recommendations.  Send
this information away to two faculty you think could recommend you, so that
they already know you are interested in applying. 

Selected applicants will receive a $1,000 stipend for their participation in
the program.  Round trip travel, lodging, and on-campus meals will also be
paid by MICHHERS.

To apply, go to http://www.rackham.umich.edu/michhers .

This summer program will take place from June 11 to June 23, 2018.  We seek
rising seniors, bachelor’s degree holders, and those currently in M.A.
programs, particularly those from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented
in graduate education who are planning on pursuing a Ph.D. in Linguistics. 
Application open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents or non-U.S. citizens
with DACA.  

Linguistics has participated in the MICHHERS program since it started five
years ago, and it has now been expanded to a full two-week internship,
including additional benefits, with the support of a grant from the Andrew
Mellon Foundation.

Please contact us at rackmichhers at umich.edu if you have any questions. We look
forward to your application.
