The Undergraduate Research Scholarship is a merit award that is designed to offset the cost of the student researcher’s education. Scholarship recipients are chosen based not only on the promise and ability of the student, but also on the quality and significance of the research project.

Awards received by the above students ranged from $1,050 to $2,900.

Congratulations to all awardees!
