SURE is a 10-week summer research program designed to attract qualified under-represented minority and women students into graduate school in the fields of engineering and science. As one of the longest running summer research programs in the country, SURE has a proud legacy of helping students enter into graduate programs, especially at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Each summer, approximately 40 students of at least junior-level undergraduate standing are recruited on a nationwide basis and paired with both a faculty and a graduate student mentor to undertake research projects in the College of Computing, College of Engineering, and College of Sciences.

• Rising juniors and rising seniors from any U.S. based college of university (who will not have graduated by May 2024) in a computing, engineering, science, or other technology major.
• Should have a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or better.
• Should have not yet completed a Bachelor's degree.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
• Women, underrepresented minorities, as well as students with community college experience or those attending institutions with limited opportunities for undergraduate research, are encouraged to apply (See National Science Foundation definition of under-represented minority)
