The NSF Science & Technology Center (STC) Undergraduate Research Experience is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on research experience in a cutting edge field. Each center has a specific research focus, but as a whole, our programs focus on such fields as the biological sciences, computer and information sciences, engineering, geosciences, and mathematical and physical sciences. Each STC is briefly described in this brochure.As an STC Undergraduate Scholar, your summer research experience will last eight to ten weeks. If chosen, your award will cover cost of transportation to the STC, stipend, room and board, and participation in STC planned events. Although your research will be conducted at one of the STCs, you will be a part of a unique national scientific community consisting of undergraduates, faculty, and graduate students.
During your summer internship, you will be exposed to professional development, technical, and academic seminars. Depending upon the nature of your research, your experience will culminate in the development of a scientific paper, poster, and/or presentation. You will learn a lot, grow your skills, and gain competitive advantage! As an STC Undergraduate Scholar, you will also be required to have a lot of fun!
