GCSU Summer 2025 Research Funding

MURACE Summer Scholarship Funding provides Georgia College & State University undergraduate students the opportunity to work on mentored research or creative projects for a minimum of eight weeks over the summer while getting compensated for their time. By the end of the summer, students should be prepared to share their work at the Georgia Undergraduate Research Conference (GURC), as well as a conference in the discipline of the project. Projects from all disciplines are welcome. 

The 2025 MURACE Summer Scholarship award amount before taxes and mandated deductions is $3,000 for each student recipient and $1,000 for mentors. Any full-time member of the teaching faculty is eligible to serve as a mentor for undergraduate students. Faculty must be actively engaged in mentoring students in person and on-site at GCSU for the duration of the eight weeks (at minimum) or more. Faculty may mentor any number of student research projects but can only receive a maximum of $2,000 for mentoring multiple students who receive funding. An additional $500 is available to purchase supplies related to the project.
