This UNL program is designed to promote undergraduate research by having students work on a research project with a faculty mentor. Application deadline for AY2009-2010 is Feb 13, 2009.
The RUTE Scholars program is a structured research program for teams of undergraduate students and faculty mentors. Each team has two biology or natural resources students and two mathematics students along with at least one biology or natural resource mentor and at least one mathematics mentor. Projects run from January through December. The program includes a 10-week summer field research experience, with a stipend of $3600 for the summer research experience.
Honors Thesis
Many students in the University Honors Program do their senior theses under the direction of math faculty.
But many opportunities are available outside these programs!
Talk to a faculty member about the work they are doing or talk to the Chief Undergraduate Advisor.
These programs are funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Typically, 6–8 students go
to a university site to work with a mentor on a project that involves mathematical research. The duration
is about 8 weeks. Travel, room and board are covered and you get paid $2000–$3000. There are about 20 sites
in math; most deadlines are in mid February.
For women who have finished their second
(sophomore) year of college, this NSF sponsored program is designed to
support and encourage women in their study of mathematics.
Held at the Center
for Nonlinear Analysis at Carnegie Mellon University, in addition to a
stipend participants receive credit from Carnegie Mellon for this
7-week learning and research experience.
The MTBI
is located on the campus of Arizona State University. This intensive
eight-week summer research experience for undergraduates prepares
promising young scientists interested in working at the interface of
mathematics, statistics and the natural and social sciences for the
rigors of graduate studies.
