No matter their major, students can pursue their interests, enhance their skills and expand their education by participating in research and creative activity as an undergraduate.
Did you know 2/3 of undergraduates work with faculty on out-of-class projects? Conducting research and engaging in scholarly and creative projects allows students to pursue their interests, enhance their skills and expand their education.
The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) helps students find funding for their projects from state, U of I and off-campus sources. Students can also receive financial assistance directly from OUR for their research and to travel to conferences where they present their results, often making valuable professional and industry connections.
Your gift to the Undergraduate Research Excellence Fund will ensure students across U of I can conduct and showcase their own research while honing their creativity, problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities.
This invaluable experience is possible because of generous donors like you. Join faculty in their investment with a gift today. Each gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $500!
