Introduction to the UM Scholars Program

The UM Scholars program is a competitive paid summer internship program that connects students from the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) with faculty from the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) to collaborate on research projects. Funding is provided by the University of Maryland Strategic Partnership: MPowering the State. Faculty members mentor students during the 10-week summer program with the hopes of expanding their knowledge about specific topics in nursing research and exposing them to various research careers available to doctoral-prepared nurses. The program aims to offer mentored research training that allows students to expand their knowledge and enlighten their career choices. The UM Scholars program was a great opportunity for students to learn about the practices involved in nursing research, and they will definitely take the skills they developed and the knowledge they gained to nursing school and beyond.
