Research Experience for Undergraduates [REUs]:
REUs are a chance for undergraduate college students to conduct research at colleges around the country in the summer. UPLIFT scholars are strongly encouraged to apply for REUs. Research and information regarding REUs can be found on our REU page here. Do note that applications for summer REUs usually close between January-March.
