STUDENT UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

In addition to the Undergraduate Research Travel Funds at ASU, students should also consider applying for a Student Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF). The Arkansas Department of Higher Education (ADHE) sponsors the Student Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF).

SURF is designed to allow undergraduate students to conduct in-depth research projects in their specific fields of study with the assistance of faculty mentors. To be eligible to apply for these funds, students must have a minimum GPA of 3.25, 30 or more hours of credit toward his/her degree at the time of funding, and the support of a faculty mentor. The student must be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident alien.

All types of undergraduate research are eligible for support, and all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply. In addition to the usual science, engineering and mathematics projects, this program will support, for example, a philosophy major who is preparing a paper in the area of bioethics, or an art major who wants to sculpt a major project. Funds are provided for students to travel to conferences to present their accomplishments.
