Winning a grant is a great way to help fund your research during the summer and the school year. Grant money is typically split between paying for student salaries and research materials, where the proportions allocated depend upon your advisor. Winning a grant is a great honor that testifies to the undergraduate's knowledge, creativity, and determination. We strongly advise all students to work with their advisors to apply for grants.

Deadlines are typically three to six months before the award date, so you should apply early! Grants targeted for McCormick undergraduates are shown below.
