The SURE program fosters undergraduate research participation in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. Undergraduate involvement in research with mentoring professors is a rewarding experience for students. The goal of the SURE program is to facilitate research activities and provide a forum for the presentation of undergraduate research.
The SURE awards are given to undergraduate students in their junior or senior years. Students are encouraged to present their research in a professional setting (a local or state conference, student association/club meeting or classes).
This award is announced and disbursed in the Spring semester.
Students can apply for a SURE award on the EIU scholarship website, Academic Works. The application requests the name and email address of the faculty mentor for the research project who must provide a letter of recommendation.
