Event Description
Come learn about funding opportunities to pursue research beyond Drexel this summer. In addition to basic advice for finding and applying for scholarships, we will focus on several programs:
- The National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/reu_search.jsp) funds student research at sites across the U.S. Each student applies for a specific research project in an area funded by the NSF where he/she works closely with the faculty and other researchers at that site.
- The Amgen Scholars Program (www.amgenscholars.com/) provides financial support and a hands-on research experience at a participating university for undergraduates in science and biotechnology.
- The NOAA Hollings Scholarship Program (www.oesd.noaa.gov/scholarships/hollings.html) provides sophomores with academic assistance (up to $9,500 per year) for 2 years of full-time study, plus a 10-week, full-time internship position ($700/week) during the summer at a NOAA facility.
