For Students

The Carl Frost Center for Social Science Research is committed to supporting faculty-student research at Hope College. In addition to supplying funding and technical expertise to faculty-student projects, the center assists individual students in the following ways: 

• The center offers assistance planning and executing survey research projects connected to coursework or student organizations.



• Work opportunities are available over the summer and during the academic year, conducting telephone and in-person interviews.



• The Frost Center funds and administrates May internships with area businesses for Hope students interested in learning more about the management practices and principles of the Frost-Scanlon Plan. This internship may be taken for credit as course SSR-495-02.



• The Frost Center subscribes to SPIN, a searchable database of fellowship and grant opportunities. Some of these opportunities are set up for undergraduate and/or graduate research students.
  
  
• When there is interest, the center offers a Community Research Practicum course (SSR-495-01) where students participate in projects contracted by the Frost Center. Tasks range from survey development and implementation to data analysis, table construction and final report preparation.
