Katherine E. Pope Summer FellowshipKatherine E. Pope Summer Fellowship

The Katherine E. Pope Summer Fellowship at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) was established in memory of Katherine E. Pope, an undergraduate student at Smith College in Massachusetts, who was working at SLAC under the direction of her physics advisor. Katherine was tragically killed in July 2001, riding a bicycle on her way to SLAC.

This fellowship remembers Katherine Pope and encourages other undergraduates with an interest in science, especially physics, to pursue their academic interest at SLAC.

The Pope Summer Fellowship will provide:

  • Transportation to and from SLAC,
  • Stipend of $500 per week, and
  • Free lodging for the time of the appointment.
