Funding for on-campus research

Many students, especially those who are new to research, volunteer their time or receive academic credit. However, there are some sources of financial support:

• The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program offers a summer research stipend, room and board, professional development workshops and the opportunity to attend research conferences.

• The Maryland Summer Scholars program provides a $3000 stipend for rising seniors engaged in undergraduate research

• Faculty research grants may be used to provide financial support to undergraduate researchers (at the discretion of the faculty mentor).

• Federal work study: A small number of laboratory positions are usually available to those who qualify.
