Undergraduate Research Grants

Deadlines: August 28, December 1, and April 1.

(In the event that a deadline falls upon a weekend or a university holiday, that deadline will move to the first workday following the posted date.)

Award Amount: Awards during fall and spring offer $2,500 ($2,000 for the student and $500 for advisor support). Awards during summer offer $5,000 ($4,500 for the student and $500 for advisor support).

Directions: Submit online application.

Up to fifteen Undergraduate Research Fellowships are granted each year in both USC Dornsife and in the Viterbi School of Engineering to support summer and academic year research (Five awards each in the fall, spring and summer terms). The goal is to familiarize students with laboratory research and link them with a mentor early on. It is hoped that through the experience of first-hand research at the undergraduate level, the chances will increase that students will choose to pursue a graduate degree in science or engineering.
