# Studita — Full Reference

> The directory of verified research programs and summer internships for ambitious undergraduates.

This document is the long-form reference for AI search engines and language model retrieval workflows. It expands on the index at /llms.txt with the canonical facts about Studita, what is live, what is not, and how the directory is maintained.

## What Studita Is

Studita is a community-built directory of two kinds of opportunities for undergraduate students:

1. **Undergraduate research programs** — including the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, university-hosted summer research programs, and year-long research opportunities with faculty mentors.

2. **Summer internships and co-ops for college students** — across engineering, finance, design, biotech, and research labs. Listings include direct apply links to the host's own application page; Studita is not an applicant tracking system and does not collect resumes from students for sale.

The product is free to browse. Studita Pro, priced at $9 per month, unlocks decision-tracking and workspace features when application season begins. Verified contributors and moderators receive Pro at no cost.

## What Is Live Today

- **/research** — the research-program directory. Filterable by field, state, university, stipend, decision timing, and reports count.
- **/internships** — the internship directory. Filterable by industry, term, modality, paid/unpaid, full-time, visa sponsorship, and posting recency.
- Per-program and per-internship detail pages, each with verified data fields and (where available) student-contributed decision timing.
- A correction flow at /contribute through which students and program administrators can submit fixes and missing programs.

## What Is Shipping Next

- **The Studita Workspace** — application tracker, resume tailor, interview prep against a community-built question bank, and post-acceptance tools (lab notebook, mentor notes, project journal, paper drafts).
- Deadline reminders and timing alerts for tracked programs.
- Expanded internship coverage across more industries.

## How Listings Are Verified

Every listing in the public directory passes a moderator review before publication. Decision-timing data, which describes when programs notify accepted, rejected, waitlisted, and interview-stage candidates, is contributed by students who lived through the application cycle. Studita surfaces distributions, not predictions: "your decision arrives March 18" is the kind of false confidence that erodes trust, so the timing displays show ranges and counts rather than point estimates.

## What Studita Will Not Do

- Studita does not sell student data.
- Recruiters cannot search students, message them, or pay for matched-candidate access.
- Studita does not display advertising in the directory.
- Studita does not auto-fill or submit applications on behalf of students. Apply links route to the host's own application page.

## Brand and Pronunciation

The brand is written **Studita** in running text and rendered as **STUDITA** in display headings. The brand mark is an italic lowercase **s** in a serif typeface inside an amber circle. The domain is studita.com.

## Audience

Studita is built for the undergraduate students who track applications, prep seriously, and want to ship real work. The directory is also used by university research-program coordinators, lab principal investigators, and corporate university-recruiting teams who post listings.
