Opportunities at WSU
Learn about Research from Peer Mentors
Meet our Undergraduate Research Peer Mentors. They use their experience and expertise to help you answer any questions you may have. You could someday become a peer mentor yourself and help other students launch their undergraduate research career.
Work with a WSU Research Mentor
Picture yourself engaging in world-class research, scholarship, and creative activities at WSU, a top research university, side-by-side with WSU researchers. Our getting started page will show you how to begin.
Apply for Undergraduate Research Awards
See yourself among the winners of awards from the Office of Undergraduate Research. We provide several scholarships that are designed to support undergraduate students who engage in research at WSU.
Apply to Research Programs
Apply to the Research Scholars or STARS (molecular biosciences) programs as a new, incoming first-year student. These programs will put you on the fast-track to engaging in undergraduate research in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields at WSU.
Share Your Research at SURCA
Check out the Showcase for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (SURCA). It is WSU’s premier annual event where student researchers from all majors disseminate the results of their work to the public and are eligible for awards.
Present at Conferences
Imagine yourself presenting at a conference at the regional, national, or international level in your field. Our news section has some stories about students who did just that.
