The REU program supports undergraduates in active research participation in any areas of research that are funded by the National Science Foundation. The competitive program selects only the brightest and most determined students to participate. Undergraduate students have the opportunity through the program to research sites that are of interest to them or to what they are studying in classes. The program provides indirect funding to help undergraduates in their research. Students are granted stipends to help with housing and travel costs.
