SGPI Summer REUs

Summer Research Programs for Undergraduate Students

The University of Alabama (UA) Graduate School is providing support for eight (8) summer research experiences for undergraduates (REU).

These are 10-week in residence programs that each pay a $5,680 stipend, and also offers free on-campus housing plus an allowance to help with travel and meal expenses. 

This effort is part of the UA Graduate School’s Strategic Graduate Partnerships Initiative (SGPI).
