We offer three programs for funding student research activities
- Student Research Grants
Student Research Grants were established to promote educational innovation and to help enrich the College’s educational programs. Student Research Grants encourage intellectual curiosity and provide opportunities to exercise intellectual abilities. Student Research Grant funds can be used for expenses related to thesis or project courses that are taken for credit.

- Student Conference Travel Grants
These grants allow students to travel to professional meetings to present the results of research they have done at Union. SCTG applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, as they are received. Please apply several weeks in advance of travel, to allow processing of the accounts. - Summer Research
Each year over 100 students spend the summer on campus working one-on-one with a professor on a project of mutual interest. Students receive a stipend and have access to on-campus housing.
