Are you interested in getting PAID while gaining research experience? Kapi’olani Community College (KapCC) and Chaminade University (CUH) Title III partnered together to create a 10-week research internship program just for you. Research internships are a great way for you to boost your scholarship applications, find out what you want to do, and potentially get a better letter of recommendation.
Summer Research Institute (SRI)
Stipend: $2000
Students will work with a faculty mentor on an interdisciplinary project based on Native Hawaiian culture, ‘āina-based, or sustainability topics. Past students worked with faculty in English, history, HOST to research sustainable volunteer tourism, Native Hawaiian resilence during COVID-19, and how to put ʻulu on people’s dinner tables.
Students from any discipline can apply, but preference is given to non-STEM students. Eligible students must meet the following criteria:
- Be a sophomore at KapCC in Fall 2021;
- Have at least a 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale;
- Have at least one semester of undergraduate education remaining after completing the summer research institute.
- Must be able to commit 20 hours/ week (includes doing independent research and can be a little flexible)
Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders are highly encouraged to apply. Peer mentors from the Ka Hiki Mai Scholars program are available to help you with your application. Schedule a virtual or in-person appointment HERE. In-person appointments will be at Chaminade and social distancing rules will be enforced.
