BSCD

FELLOWSHIPS

& Other Research Funding Opportunities

There are some opportunities for students to fund their research positions while learning with PI’s in the BSCD. Through a number of different university programs, students can apply for fellowships, grants, and other funding opportunities to pay for participation in lab work, and depending on the program - a stipend. It’s an important part of the BSCD’s goals with research in easing some of the extraneous responsibilities of students so they can focus on their learning in the lab.
