Undergraduate researchers have been awarded spring 2026 funding to support faculty-mentored or independent research projects.

The Office of Undergraduate Research is pleased to announce that 251 undergraduate researchers were competitively selected to receive funding for spring 2026 including the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), Wilkes Center for Climate Science and Policy, Parent Fund Scholarship, and Francis Family Scholarship.  All of these undergraduate researchers receive educational programming while they assist with a faculty member’s research or creative project, or carry out a project of their own under the supervision of a faculty member. Congratulations to our funded students and their faculty mentors!
