SPRINT Fellowships Program Details

Types of SPRINT Fellowships

There are two types of SPRINT Fellowships:

  1. Brown-Generated SPRINT Fellowships
    Brown-generated fellowships are listed opportunities with Brown faculty, host organizations, and community partners that are reserved for Brown students.
  2. Student-Generated SPRINT Fellowships
    Student-generated fellowships are internships and research projects that students secure or develop in partnership with faculty, host organizations, and community partners. These fellowships are offered only in the summer.

Fellowship Timing

SPRINT Fellowships come in two distinct flavors, each designed to fit different stages of the academic calendar:

  • Semester Fellowships (Fall and Spring): If you want to balance your studies with a significant co-curricular experience, consider a semester fellowship! Your coursework remains your top priority, and the fellowship is designed to be a substantial, but manageable, commitment of about 10 hours per week. This is a great way to gain experience without sacrificing your academic focus.
  • Summer Fellowships: If you're ready for an intensive, immersive experience, the Summer SPRINT is for you! During the summer, your primary focus will be your fellowship, meaning you won't be able to register for courses. This allows you to fully dedicate yourself to your project, making significant progress and gaining deep insights. It's an excellent opportunity for concentrated work.
