Nebraska’s Summer Research Program Application

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is currently accepting applications for the Nebraska Summer Research Program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln! Their 10-week intensive undergraduate Summer Research Program provides a unique chance for students to delve into cutting-edge research within our state-of-the-art facilities while gaining a valuable preview of graduate school life at a Big Ten institution. The majority of their Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) are generously funded by organizations like the NSF, USDA, or NIFA, ensuring an enriching experience for participants. By joining, students not only enhance their academic resumes but also forge meaningful connections with faculty and peers.
