Funding, Internships, and Summer Experiences

Summer undergraduate research opportunities are a great way to expand your research skills and gain new experiences in a wide range of disciplines throughout the nation--and in some cases--the world.

Some summer experiences are formal REUs (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) and structured summer programs for pay. Others are considered unpaid internships. Please keep in mind that summer opportunities usually require a thorough application, which can be due as early a January for the coming summer. ICRU is happy to work with you on your application to these programs, please let us know if you are applying!

*This is NOT an exhaustive list, just a few to help you get started!
