The Rodney A. Erickson Discovery Grant Program, named in honor of Penn State's seventeenth President, provides funding for student-initiated projects for summer 2025. Student projects proposing research, scholarship, or creative endeavors from all academic fields and campuses are welcome.
The University Libraries has created this worksheet to help students start to identify potential research questions and mapping of the project.
Eligibility:
- Current undergraduate
- Must have at least one semester remaining after the funded summer
- Research must have a Penn State mentor
- Not have accepted an Erickson Discovery Grant previously
- Work outside of the proposed project must be limited to fifteen hours per week. The grant is designed to offer enough funding so that your project can be your main focus.
The competition cycle for the 2025 Erickson Discovery Grant application is now open - with an application deadline of February 16, 2025. Results will be announced mid-March.
