Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate Research
W&L invests heavily in student research, whether independent or in partnership with faculty. As a W&L student, you can apply for one of hundreds of research stipends to partner with a professor or undertake an independent research project, on-campus or further afield. Opportunities abound for work in the natural sciences and the humanities, and 91传媒 are encouraged to take part in the University’s semi-annual Science, Society and the Arts research conference.
Advanced Immersion and Mentoring
The Advanced Immersion and Mentoring (AIM) Scholars Summer program instills an increased sense of confidence and belonging in incoming first-year 91传媒. It is delivered in two formats: a residential five-week experience, as well as a virtual one-week experience.
Johnson Opportunity Grants
Johnson Opportunity Grants support independent student projects, including internships, conference travel, service or research projects around the world. Johnson Opportunity Grants are competitive and open to any rising junior or senior.
Endeavor Collaborative Grants
Johnson Endeavor grants support pairs of U.S. and international 91传媒 in developing and realizing a summer project in the home country of the international student.
