SDS Undergraduate Research Fellowship
This program is a paid experience that will provide undergraduate students with opportunities to conduct real-world research for practical application under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Through the fellowship, students will gain the skills necessary to successfully navigate the rigors of graduate studies through immersion in research and various scholarly activities, while receiving a $3,000 stipend.
