The University of Guam is now accepting applications for the Student Research Experience (SRE) program for undergraduate students for the 2025 term.

The program is headed by the Guam National Science Foundation’s Established Programs to Stimulate Competitive Research (Guam NSF ESPCoR) Education Workforce Development (EWD) team. 

Selected students will participate in the year-long paid research internship and receive faculty mentoring, possible travel opportunities and a monthly $500 stipend. 

“This is a great opportunity for students who are interested in STEM to get hands-on lab experience with distinguished mentors here at UOG,” said Guam NSF EPSCoR EWD Project Associate Hannah Perez. “This is a wonderful development opportunity for undergrad students from UOG or GCC.”
