Undergraduate Student Research

Research, traditionally thought of as the an area exclusive to faculty and graduate students, is now part of the curriculum for many undergraduate students at Penn State. In many colleges, undergraduate students work in laboratories, field studies, and clinics.

However, funding these research opportunities requires additional staff, time, and equipment. Consider a gift that would make a research experience available to more undergraduate students.

Research Endowments
Gift of $50,000

Research endowments have the potential to yield tangible benefits beyond the University and are particularly vital in nurturing the work of junior faculty--researches who may hold special promise and vision, but may face difficulty in acquiring funds from conventional sources.
