One of the great advantages Penn State offers to undergraduate students is the opportunity to work with faculty
who are on the cutting edge of research and creative endeavors. Faculty have the chance to request funding for
an undergraduate student who is interested in a research project. The purpose of this grant is to
promote faculty/undergraduate collaboration as students engage in original research, scholarship, and creative
work during the direct supervision of a faculty member. The request should address one or more of the following:
- provide experience in all facets of the research, scholarship, or creative process;
- include laboratory and field research, scholarly inquiry, and creative work;
- students must have a faculty supervisor who is available to consult with the student and evaluate how the
project was conducted.
Grant requests cannot exceed $1,000 and cost sharing with your department is
advised. There is no timeline for when applications are due. They will be reviewed upon receipt and
will be considered as long as funds are available.
