The WiSE Undergraduate Research Experience is now accepting applications for WiSE Researchers, due April 1st. For application guidelines for Dornsife and Viterbi students, visit: https://wise.usc.edu/programs/grants-and-awards/undergraduate-students/undergraduate-research-experience/wise-researchers/

About WiSE Researchers: The goal of this program is to provide upper-level undergraduate students with first-hand experience in laboratory-based research, and to thereby encourage promising students to pursue graduate studies in the sciences and/or engineering. Upperclassmen who have an established working relationship with a faculty mentor submit a research project proposal. If awarded, they commit to participating in WiSE programming efforts throughout the academic year and receive a substantial grant to conduct research. For most students, this research will be conducted during the summer months.

Award Amount: A $3,000 grant the semester in which research is conducted, $500 during each of the Fall and Spring Semesters for participation in the WiSE Research Programming Series, and $500 in advisor support.

How to Apply: Complete and submit the online application by April 1st.
