URGO also provides funding for students to work for a professor as a research assistant on an ongoing research project. This is a 100-hour commitment over the course of the summer and comes with a $1,500 stipend. This is an excellent opportunity to try out research for the first time or focus on a specific aspect of a research project.
The Summer Research Info Packet and Phase 1 application can be found on URGO’s website, linked below. If you have questions, email urgo@augsburg.edu
