Undergraduate Research Assistants Students are employed by the Department of Mechanical Engineering to work in research laboratories with faculty members. This experience often motivates students to continue on to graduate school. The University offers financial assistance to qualified undergraduate students.
Aid is classified as either gift or self-help assistance.
Scholarships and grants are in the gift category. Money available for financial aid is limited. Two factors affecting a student's chance of receiving aid are the amount of need and the timeliness with which all required forms are submitted. The general types of aid undergraduate students may qualify for are federal and state aid, work-study employment, university scholarships, and outside agency awards. Applications should be filed in January for maximum consideration.
