 Undergraduate students from all majors and Penn State campuses have one more month to apply for an Erickson Discovery Grant to fund summer 2023 opportunities, with applications closing Feb. 12. 

Grants provide $3,500 toward living expenses and project costs. Student projects of all kinds are welcome: the arts, engineering, humanities, business, education, sciences and social sciences. While proposals may be related to the supervising faculty member's research or scholarly interests, projects should be independent and designed by the student. While some students travel for their experience, many choose to stay at their home campus to conduct their work. 

About the application 

Applications are open now and can be found at urfm.psu.edu. 

Penn State University Libraries developed a worksheet to help students identify potential research questions and map out their project. 

The final application asks for a two-page research proposal (single- or double-spaced) that addresses the following: 

• The question or goal to be addressed and its relevance to the discipline or field. Proposals for creative projects should describe the academic nature of the work. 

• The methods or processes that will be used to address the question or goal. 

• Why the project is of interest to the student and their preparation to complete it. 

• How supervision by the faculty member will contribute to the student’s project. 

Applicants will also need to provide the name and contact information of the research supervisor, so that the supervisor can be contacted to provide a letter of support that includes an evaluation of the proposal and the student’s ability to complete the project. 

Citations supporting the research topic may be included with the research proposal as a separate, third page. 

Erickson Discovery Grants are supported by Penn State Undergraduate Education.
