Opportunity Description

This application link is intended for faculty mentors only

Open to: Undergraduate students currently enrolled in the College of Engineering and Biological or Environmental Engineering (BEE) majors. 

Undergraduate engineering students and their faculty mentors may apply for semester or summer funding awards, administered through Cornell Engineering's Office of Inclusive Excellence, to support undergraduate research engagement. Funds may be used to provide student wages or to cover project expenses. 

Our goal is to enable as many students as possible to benefit from an undergraduate research experience at Cornell. 

The student must apply along side a faculty mentor. Additional information, including guidelines for successful applications, can be found on the Engineering Undergraduate Research Grants Program webpage.
