近期有很多家长咨询暑研申请的问题，海外暑期科研（暑研）是指学生利用暑假时间到科研机构开展课题研究的一种经历。由于本科生参与科研的机会和资源有限，如果学校提供不了，或者提供的机会不适合，利用暑假去开展一段全日制的科研训练，有助于发掘科研兴趣以及提升科研能力。
海外暑研对申请有着无可比拟的重要性，尤其是研究型硕士及博士的申请。
申请者以往的科研经历、科研技能及推荐人的身份、推荐信的内容是导师和申请委员会最看重的。一段高质量的海外科研，能够在上述所有方面为申请者加分，具体如下：
会增加科研经历，丰富简历，积累科研经验与技能，且对该专业领域的前沿科研课题有深入的了解和把握，有机会获得论文发表（于权威国际期刊或会议）等学术成果，极大提升申请软实力；
可以获得高含金量的推荐信，科研老板的推荐信，相对于授课教授、实习领导的推荐信而言，更能具体、个性化的展现学生研究能力与品质，为硕博申请打下坚实基础；
会与国际名校名师深度合作中建立联系，拓展关系网；
增加博士申请套磁RA成功率；
熟悉海外科研氛围，提前适应硕博学习模式与生活；
优秀者可获得return offer，直接拿下硕/博的入读名额。
推荐信和科研基本是挂钩的，简历（以及申请个人陈述）中的科研经历，如果没有相关教授或者指导老师的推荐信其实也是不那么有分量的。在做好的科研的同时尽可能要到不错的推荐信，这是一段海外暑研最小的成功。
一般来说简历第一项是一个和美国教授做的科研项目会很吸引申请委员会的注意。所以在其他成绩基本定型的情况下，科研可以将申请者的实力提升到另一个层次。
暑研项目的申请时间每年的10月左右就需要开始准备材料，这些材料包含学校成绩单、语言成绩、个人简历、推荐信以及个人陈述等，11-12月初申请截止;在1-3月，海外院校会进行初步筛选，筛选后会通知学生进行面试;面试结束后，3月-4月后会发布录取结果。现在这个时间点是项目审核中的阶段，大多数项目已经过了申请时间，但我还是将知道的暑研项目做了整理，可以为之后需要申请的同学和家长做参考。

费用：全奖
招生要求：
Students must identify and contact a research mentor in advance of submitting an application. A mentor must agree to support your application, help you to develop and define a research project, and assist you in the writing of the research proposal.
The Research ProjectThe most important factor in selecting a project is your enthusiasm for the project itself and for working with the mentor. Although most students seek projects in their options, SURF provides an opportunity to explore other fields. SURF is not "just a summer job"; a project should have significant intellectual and creative content. The benchmark for a suitable project is the potential for publication in the refereed literature.
The ProposalThe proposal should be as technical and specific as you can make it as it will be read by people in the field. It must outline what you plan to do, and why it will be useful. The outline consists of theoretical background and experimental techniques, how the work fits into the flow of the research in the field, and a work plan for the project. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the mentor and by a member of the faculty in the project field. If you are a 2nd or 3rd time SURFer, your proposal should show a higher level of depth that would be expected of an experienced researcher. For further guidelines on writing an excellent proposal, access theProposal/Project Plans.
RecommendationsTwo recommendation letters are required, one of which must be from a faculty member. The other can be from an instructor, graduate TA, RA/RLC, coach or someone else who can speak to a student's strengths. Upperclass students should ask professors in their field for both recommendations. Recommender contact information should be entered in the applicant's SFP Online account. The recommender will then be emailed directly and asked to submit their recommendation into the online system. If you have done a previous research project with a different mentor, that mentor should write one of your recommendations. Recommendations are due on February 22, along with your application, so submit your recommender information well in advance.Your prospective Caltech mentor will complete a separate evaluation and should not write a letter of recommendation.
TranscriptVisiting (non-Caltech) students need to submit an unofficial transcript at time of application. If an award is offered, you will be asked to have an official transcript sent by your college or university.
