About us
WAVE Fellows will have the opportunity to conduct research under the guidance of Caltech faculty working at the frontier of their fields.
Applicants will identify several possible mentors with whom they are interested in working.
Once accepted, Fellows will work with their mentor to define and develop a research project.
Fellows will carry out the work over a 10-week period during the summer and submit two interim reports, a research abstract, and final paper. At the conclusion of the program, students give an oral or poster presentation at one of several SURF Seminar Days, symposia modeled on a professional technical meeting.
WAVE Fellows will receive an award of $6,620, a $2,000 housing supplement for campus housing, and travel to/from Caltech. Caltech housing is available and we strongly encourage all Fellows to live on campus.
