CCS Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF)

The CCS summer fellowships play a vital role in facilitating experiential learning for undergraduate students at the College of Creative Studies. These fellowships offer UCSB CCS students from all nine majors the chance to engage in research, create original works of art, or develop entrepreneurial projects under the guidance of UC Santa Barbara faculty members. The selection of awardees is made by the program committee of each major.

Awardees of the CCS summer fellowships are expected to share the results of their experience through required deliverables, including participation in our annual undergraduate conference, RACA-CON.

Please keep in mind that eligibility for the program requires applicants to be current UCSB College of Creative Studies students in good academic standing. Students may only receive one Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship during their time at CCS, and graduating seniors are not eligible to receive an award. We encourage interested students to review the program requirements and timeline carefully to ensure they meet all eligibility criteria before submitting their applications.
