Once you have found a faculty research mentor, complete the application form (see below). This will generate an automatic email to you and your faculty mentor:
- Save a copy of this email as it is confirmation of your application submission.
- The email includes a link for your faculty mentor to confirm the research assistantship. Be sure to follow up with your faculty research mentor to ensure that they have received the email and are aware of the deadline. If your faculty research mentor does not receive the automatic email or is having difficulty with the form, contact Undergraduate Research.
Selection by a faculty mentor does not guarantee acceptance into the program. If there are more applications than stipends available, applications will be judged on factors such as:
- Relationship of the research to your major and academic trajectory
- Plans for pursuing a senior honors thesis
- Preparation for the project (coursework, previous research experience, etc.)
- Project abstract and description of your role in the project
