Summer Research Grant program is no longer accepting applications for the 2009 summer.

The Undergraduate Research Center (URC) supports undergraduate research and creative projects by distributing grants throughout the academic year and summer.

Partners in Scholarship (PinS)

PinS provides a unique opportunity for students to enhance their undergraduate experience through a collaborative research project. With the assistance of a faculty partner, students design and execute a project that involves in-depth study in their specific area of interest.

PinS funding helps cover the expenses necessary to ensure the completion and success of the project. Expenses may include supplies such as books, software, or lab equipment, travel for research, or materials like props for a play. Students may request up to $1500 each quarter. Early applications for Fall 2009 Quarter are due May 6th, 2009. More information and the PinS application.
