Why Your Support Matters
The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) supports student participation in research or creative projects under the mentorship of a faculty member or researcher. Considered a high-impact practice, undergraduate research provides students an opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to real-world problems, expand their skills, and connect with LSU’s world-class faculty.
Our office provides a variety of resources to research students, and we welcome your support of LSU undergraduate researchers through donations toward two of our most popular resources: student project grants and student travel stipends.
Your support helps make these opportunities possible. Join us in fostering the next generation of scholars – support LSU student researchers today!
Impact Areas
Your generosity on LSU Giving Day impacts the following priority initiatives:
1. Office of Undergraduate Research Project Fund
Each year, OUR provides project grants to fund student-proposed projects, ensuring that undergraduates from all disciplines have the opportunities to innovate and excel. Since its inception in 2017, these project grants have funded over 200 student projects from disciplines across all LSU colleges. The more funds we raise, the more student projects we can support!
2. Office of Undergraduate Research Travel Stipends
OUR travel stipends offer financial support to students for travel expenses related to presenting their research at professional academic conferences. To date, we have provided travel stipends to over 150 undergraduates for travel, both nationally and internationally. Make a gift this Giving Day to help support LSU undergraduates participate in this exceptional professional activity!
