Come and learn more about the Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program (URFP), which provides paid research experience for any undergraduate student in any major.

Be one of the ten student researchers in our new cohort! Accepted researchers will complete their research project any time between summer '24-summer '25 and will be paid a minimum of $2,000 as they work.

The only requirement of the Program is that students must commit to completing their research as outlined in their proposal and will present at the Celebration of Student Scholarship. There are no workshops or other requirements beyond research completion and presentation.
