Funding Opportunities
There are many ways to get funding for your research. Many professors are able to provide supplies and equipment through their research funding, and some are able to hire students as part-time lab employees.
Other programs across campus are able to provide a stipend to student researchers for summer or academic year research. Check out each of the programs on the Research Programs page to see if they provide funding. More money can sometimes be obtained through a grant or fellowship. Check our Scholarships page frequently for current fellowships. Below is a partial listing of organizations that may provide grant funding. Good luck!
