Applications for Undergraduate Programs

How to Apply

Applications are submitted through an online form with three parts.

Basic Information

Applicants provide academic details such as SUNetID, majors or minors, class year, availability during the academic term, prior participation in CESTA programs, and Federal Work-Study eligibility.

Skills and Experience Inventory

Applicants select from a checklist of humanities research skills, digital tools, technical or design tools, programming languages, and language experience. You will also briefly describe one skill you have used or are currently developing. It is completely fine if you are new to some or all of these areas.

Research Interest and Fit

Applicants respond to a short essay about their interest in working as an undergraduate research aide with CESTA and upload a current resume. Applicants for Winter and Spring opportunities will indicate whether they are interested in hourly employment or academic credit, depending on availability.
