UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Undergraduate students from all majors and Penn State campuses have one more month to apply for an Erickson Discovery Grant to fund summer 2022 opportunities.  

Grants provide $3,500 toward living expenses and project costs. Student projects of all kinds are welcome, from across all disciplines: the arts, engineering, humanities, business, communications, education, sciences and social sciences. Projects must be student designed and proposed and may or may not be related to the supervising faculty member’s research or scholarly interests. 

Find more details and an application at the Undergraduate Research and Fellowships Mentoring (URFM) website. URFM can provide feedback on application materials, but materials must be submitted at least two weeks before the Feb. 13 deadline. Up to 50 grants will be awarded for summer 2022.
