Undergraduate Research in Stanford Departments, Programs and Research Centers
Many Stanford departments and programs sponsor an undergraduate research program that provides financial support for students to work with Stanford professors on faculty-designed research projects. Programs generally take place over the summer, but many support research during the regular academic year as well.
For any Departmental Program, students must apply directly to departments and programs, rather than through UAR. For summer programs, deadlines are often in the Winter Quarter. Program deadlines and specifics are available at the links below or via contacting the department or program directly.
