Application Links for Summer 2026

If you are an undergraduate student interested in being a mentee, the application for Summer 2026 ARE NOW CLOSED. Please check back in August for applications to the Fall 2026 DRP.

When you are filling out the application form, you will be asked to attach a brief (one page, max) exposition of a mathematical result you find interesting. It could, for example, be a mathematical topic that you are excited to learn, or even a homework problem that you really liked. Here is an example from ordinary differential equations.

Application Criteria

To participate in the program, you must have completed a math course involving proofs (e.g. Math 185 or Math 217). In addition, you must commit to:

• Meeting once a week with your mentor for about an hour.

• Working on your project for (at least) four hours per week outside of the meetings.

• Preparing a 10-15 minute presentation about your project or a 5-page expository article on your topic.

• Attending the final DRP presentations.

Note that the DRP is not an undergraduate research program, and you should not expect to work on a research project. It is also not a course, so you do not receive any course credit.
