Undergraduate Summer Support Fund for Physics and Astronomy

A gift to the Physics and Astronomy Undergraduate Student Summer Support Fund removes financial barriers, ensuring all students can immerse themselves in cutting-edge independent research projects during the summer. These projects are crucial for developing the skills needed for graduate programs and the workforce.

Rice Physics and Astronomy is a thriving department with faculty engaged in research across the full spectrum of the discipline — from individual fundamental particles to the remarkable collective properties that emerge in ensembles, and from the coldest temperatures in the universe to conditions rivaling those of the Big Bang. We share our enthusiasm and expertise with our undergraduates in the classroom and in our laboratories through these research opportunities.
