SURF Applications
SURF applications must be received by November 1 at the Arkansas
Department of Higher Education, 114 East Capitol, Little Rock AR 72201.
The Student Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program is designed
to allow undergraduate students to conduct in-depth research projects in
their specific fields of study with the assistance of faculty mentors. To be
eligible to apply for these funds, students must have a minimum GPA of 3.25,
30 or more hours of credit toward his/her degree at the time of funding, and
the support of a faculty mentor. The student must be a U.S. citizen or a
permanent resident alien.
Eligible Projects
All types of undergraduate research are eligible for support, and all
academic disciplines are encouraged to apply. In addition to the usual
science, engineering and mathematics projects, this program will support, for
example, a philosophy major who is preparing a paper in the area of
bioethics, or an art major who wants to sculpt a major project. Funds are
provided for students to travel to conferences to present their
accomplishments.
