Internship Corner – Undergraduate Research Collective Applications Now Open!

The Office of Undergraduate Research is now accepting applications for their Undergraduate Research Collective. Students enroll in a two quarter seminar focused on research preparation and community-building, are matched with a faculty mentor to conduct research, and receive an $8,000 scholarship over the course of their two year participation.

This opportunity is open to students who meet the following criteria:

  • 1st or 2nd year student, or incoming transfer student, in the 2025-2026 academic year
  • Registered full-time (minimum 12 credits) during each award period
  • Pursuing a bachelor’s degree at the UW Seattle campus
  • Have no prior faculty-mentored research experience (outside of a course)

Applications are due Monday, July 21, 2025 at 11:59pm. To find out more information, including a list of faculty mentors, view the program website.

In the first year of the program, students will be matched with a faculty mentor, enroll in two quarters of a seminar focused on research preparation and community-building, and will discuss an onboarding plan with their mentor. 

In the second year of the program, students will engage in 5-10 hours of research per week, attend monthly workshops, and present their research at the Undergraduate Research Symposium.
