Dean's Undergraduate Research Fund

Providing students with opportunities to be involved in independent inquiry is central to the mission of our research University. We aim not just to convey knowledge but to produce it and to teach others how to learn throughout their lives.

Through the generosity of parents, alumni, and friends of the College, an endowed Fund provides grants to assist a student's own reserach, whether to help with the gathering of data and information, or in the presentation of the results at an academic conference. Selection by a faculty committee is competitive. Since 1996 over 1,000 students have been awarded close to a million dollars in research scholarships. Students apply to the College; forms and instructions are available online. Please click here.
