The Undergraduate Research & Mentoring Program (URMP)  funds undergraduate research for undergraduate Maseeh College students. Students work closely with a faculty mentor, conduct research, complete a research project and get a stipend of $6000 for the full 10-week experience. While each student conducts independent research with their faculty mentor through their respective intern and/or research programs, MSURE creates a supportive peer community through shared learning experiences and networking opportunities. 

  • Be a freshman, sophomore, or junior Maseeh College student.
  • Maintain a strong academic record.
  • Demonstrate interest in undergraduate research.
  • Commit to 10 weeks of full-time research during the summer (~40 hours/week), with start and end dates negotiable with your faculty mentor.
  • Have the ability to research and work full-time during the summer.

Responsibilities:

  • Attend regular research meetings.
  • Submit weekly progress reports.
  • Present your research findings and fellowship experience at a PSU community forum, typically during the Maseeh College fall welcome.

Women and underrepresented students are highly encouraged to apply.
