UM Scholars MPowering the State Summer 2026 Paid Research
UM Scholars is a mentored educational program that connects students from the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) and the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) to faculty mentors at the opposite campus to work on research projects designed to expand students’ knowledge and enlighten students about career choices. The structured, 10-week program taps into the complementary strengths of UMB and UMCP.
Launched in 2012 as one of the first joint initiatives of MPower, the program engages students from a wide range of disciplines. Opportunities include research placements for UMCP STEM-focused undergraduates to work with UMB’s top medical school faculty and offers assignments for undergraduates to work with researchers at UMB’s schools of nursing, pharmacy, and social work.
