Susan C. Thrasher Award | Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research | SIU

Susan C. Thrasher Undergraduate Research Fund

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research invites applications under the “Susan C. Thrasher Undergraduate Research Fund.” Awardees will work with a faculty mentor on a research project during the 2025-26 academic year. At the end of their research experience they will submit a report to their mentor, and will also present a poster detailing their research or creative activity project during the Spring 2026 Creative Activities and Research Presentations forum. When these activities are completed $1,500 will be credited as a cash award to the student’s SIU statement of account. Award activities will be carried out between the first day of the Fall 2025 semester, and April 30, 2026.
