Support the External Scholarships and Undergraduate Research Center (ESURC)

You can help undergraduate students take on real-world problems with some of the brightest minds collaborating across disciplines to solve these pressing issues with research, ingenuity, and dedication. You can bring more of these ideas to life. Gifts provide undergraduates with critical research stipends and conference travel for student presenters, along with general ESURC support, such as for program speakers and events. Thank you for supporting undergraduate student research!

  • Source Project Research Program

    The Source Project Research Program is designed for first-year undergraduate student researchers to gain research skills in the humanities and social sciences that accelerate their undergraduate career and enhance their professional pursuits. Students join a research stream and have the opportunity to discover sources and interpret their significance, produce original projects, express their findings, and learn how to communicate and disseminate the relevance of their work.

    Gifts to the Source Project Research Program provide support to this first-year research experience, such as for faculty hiring, student research awards, and events.

  • Summer Scholars and Artists Program (SSAP)

    The Summer Scholars and Artists Program (SSAP) allows undergraduate students to engage in self-designed research, scholarship, or creative activities during the summer. The program encourages interdisciplinarity and supports the student’s original research or creative project through a stipend, enabling recipients to engage in primary research or creative activities with guidance from a faculty mentor. The program is open to students in all academic disciplines.

    Gifts to SSAP support a student's original research or creative project through a $3,500 student stipend and a $1,000 faculty mentor stipend.
