Study Your Passion, Get $500 To Do It [SURE Award]

Did you know that Honors students have the exclusive opportunity to win up to $500 for their research? It’s true!  Apply to the UHP/Sigelman Undergraduate Research Enhancement Award (SURE) and we might just cut you a check.
We know “Undergraduate Research Enhancement” doesn’t sound that exciting (well, to most people at least, but you are UHPers), but what you can actually do with that money is amazing.  Some of last year’s winners used the funds to create an early warning device to detect seizures, fund focus groups to learn how television affects political beliefs, and to question the foundations of Hollywood.
The possibilities are endless, but the deadline to apply for funds in the 2014 is Friday, September 27th, 2013.
