NSF funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through
its REU Sites program. An REU Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates
who work in the research programs of the host institution. Each student is associated
with a specific research project, where he/she works closely with the faculty and
other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with
housing and travel. Undergraduate students supported with NSF funds must be citizens
or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions. An REU Site may be
at either a US or foreign location.
