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. Past winners used the funds to travel to South America to study Argentinian waste management systems, fund focus groups to learn how television affects political beliefs, and cover transportation costs to examine an estimate age-at-death methodology..
The possibilities are endless, but the deadline to apply for funds in fall, winter, and spring of the 2016-2017 year is Friday, October 7, 2016.
