The Nucleus site has a large listing of summer REU's. Although SPS is the Society of Physics Students there are many links for non physics REU's, so it would be worthwhile to check it out! |

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program. |
