Funding & Internships

CUSE Undergraduate Research Grants

The Flatley Center for Undergraduate Scholarly Engagement can help students develop and find funding for many different kinds of research to help make the most of their Notre Dame experience and expand the intellectual life at the University.

Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts Grants

The Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Art's Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program, better known as UROP, gives students the opportunity to design all aspects of their projects, from identifying a research topic or creative goal to developing a persuasive narrative, reasonable timetable, and appropriate budget. Each student is guided through this process by a faculty member of their choosing. These grant programs offer a variety of academic year and summer funding opportunities. Some grants focus on supporting scholarship on particular themes and topics, while others are dedicated to supporting general scholarly and creative endeavors.
