How will I pay for this?
A: There are- at this time- no funds expressly set aside for thesis research. Many of the projects available through ECB faculty WILL be fully funded, but this will vary. There are various grants and funding sources available for student research: you can also talk to advisers and faculty for ideas.
Note- there are always small-scale, regional research questions that can be evaluated without a huge budget, whereas shark-telemetry off Cape Horn may be a bit more prohibitive.
One excellent source of funding is provided by the Berklund Undergraduate Research Scholar Award. This is competitive research scholarship ($2000)- all enrolled undergraduates are eligible.
The National Science Foundation also has a wonderful program called the 'Research Experience for Undergraduates' initiative that is a must see for all ECB students.
