SUMMER Research Programs for UnderGraduates
Did you know that you can participate in undergraduate research in the summer? And qualify for scholarships to do such research in the summer?
The LSU Discover Undergraduate Research program supports student participation in faculty-mentored research and professional-level activities.
LSU Discover considers undergraduate research to be those activities in which a student works on a creative or research project under the mentor-ship of a faculty member or researcher. Participation in undergraduate research can occur in one of many different modes including: paid positions, for course credit (typically independent studies or special problems courses), scholarship opportunities, honors theses, or as volunteers.
