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.
