Many of our students are awarded scholarships by the physics department. In addition, some students receive scholarships from the university, or compete nationally for additional awards and fellowships.
Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)
We have an exciting summer research
program funded by the National Science Foundation. Students from across the
country are encouraged to apply.
Additional Research Opportunities
Most of our undergraduate majors
participate in research throughout the year by joining one of the research
programs. This initial research experience helps our students with their
career decisions and gives them the opportunity to use state-of-the-art
research equipment. These students develop skills in computing, electronics,
radiation detection, using lasers, building particle detectors, vacuum
science, and other technically advanced areas. They present their research
results both locally and at national meetings, and have won
prestigious
fellowships
based on their research. Furthermore, most of our students
are paid for their research time. Whatever their eventual career,
undergraduate research experiences are a valuable part of our students’
education To get involved in research,
read about the various areas of research going on at Kansas State both here and in the
study guide.
