Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate Research Beyond the First Year
Participants in FRS are uniquely prepared to take advantage of OSU’s extensive research
opportunities for undergraduates. Each year approximately forty of OSU’s most innovative
scholars are awarded $4,500 Lew Wentz Research Grants to conduct projects of their
own design.
Additionally, several other awards, such as the Niblack Research Scholars, are granted
to students in selected fields of study, making OSU a vibrant research community for
undergraduates.
Many of the students who participate in these programs continue to pursue successful
careers in academia with placement in top research institutions, while others choose
to take their experience into the private sector.
