What is an REU?
REU stand for Research Experience for Undergraduates. Most of them are sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduates through its REU sites across the nation. Interested students complete an application process that is competitive. Funded student will be associated with a specific research project, where he/she will work closely with a researcher on topics in the sciences. Students are granted stipends and in may cases, assistance with housing and travel. What a great experience for students who want to spend a summer getting started in research.
