Research Grants

Writing a research grant as an undergraduate not only helps you to obtain expensive resources you may need to complete a research project, but also forces you to organize your thoughts and fine tune your plans. This often results in a project that is more successful. Moreover, obtaining a grant as an undergraduate is a great honor and tangibly demonstrates your critical thinking and communication skills. This makes a valuable entry for anyone's resume. Below are links to more information about two grants you can apply for as an undergraduate.
