Students can apply for research grants up to $5800.00 (plus housing) for academic year, summer, or study abroad research projects in the Undergraduate Research Program. Research and publication is a rewarding personal educational experience, and strong research skills documented in a resume significantly strengthen employment and graduate school applications.

Fordham Summer Undergraduate Research Grants in the Social Sciences and Humanities. Up to $1500.00 to fund a research project which may involve an internship. Deadline: April 2013 .
