Students: Get paid to do research

November 5, 2018

Are you looking to get paid to participate in undergraduate research? Does gaining experience in networking and developing oral and written communication skills call your attention? Look no further than the Office of Student Engagement and Experiential Learning (OSEEL). OSEEL is your go-to stop for undergraduate research opportunities! Consider applying for one of our programs provided by the Office of Student Engagement and Experiential Learning (OSEEL).

The Undergraduate Student Engagement Travel Grant (USET) provides up to $500 to NIU undergraduate students to lower the cost of travel to attend or present at a professional conference, NIU study abroad programs, participation in a service-based experience that includes travel (such as an alternative break) or other student engagement projects. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis on the 15th of each month, with notification of results by the end of that month.

Undergraduate Special Opportunities in Artistry and Research (USOAR) is a program that funds student-generated research projects, whether the study is conducted on campus, somewhere else in the United States or overseas. Provides up to $2,500 to carry out your project. Applications for USOAR are currently being accepted until Thursday, Nov. 15.

For more information on undergraduate research contact an OSEEL staff member at ugresearch@niu.edu or 815-753-8154.
