Summer Undergraduate Research Experience Program
Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Awards

At Sacramento State, we believe in the power of scientific discovery and the potential of every student to make a meaningful impact. Our Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Program opens doors for students to explore the frontiers of scientific knowledge, pushing beyond classroom learning into real-world discovery.

Imagine a summer where students aren't just studying science, but actively creating it. In the SURE Program, undergraduate students work side by side with faculty mentors in fields like biological sciences, chemistry, geology, math, and physics. These aren't just internships – they're transformative journeys of learning and growth. Students dive deep into research, facing challenges that test their creativity, determination, and problem-solving skills. They learn that science isn't about perfect answers, but about asking bold questions and embracing the process of discovery.

Many of our students balance school with work, making additional academic opportunities challenging. The SURE Program changes that. By providing a paid research experience, we remove financial barriers and allow students to fully immerse themselves in scientific exploration. Your support can help students who bring diverse perspectives and experiences to tackle complex problems, develop groundbreaking research, and prepare to become the innovative leaders our community needs.

Your generosity can transform a student's future. By giving to the SURE Program, you're not just supporting research – you're investing in the next generation of scientists, innovators, and change-makers. Help us sustain student success and open doors to extraordinary opportunities. Every contribution matters, and together, we can help students turn their potential into powerful impact.

Thank you for believing in our students and the future they will create.
