About Associate Research Scholars
Associate Research Scholars (ARS) engage in undergraduate research projects under the direction of a Texas Tech faculty mentor. The ARS track provides two forms of financial support for undergraduate research projects.
You do not have to complete the Emerging Research Scholars (ERS) track to request ARS funding. Students who do receive priority consideration in funding decisions.
Two kinds of support
$500
Faculty Research Support (FRS). Every ARS faculty mentor receives a research expense budget for expenses that meet the university definition for restricted research expenses.
150 hours at $10/hr
Hourly Student Research Compensation. Students who are not receiving course credit for a faculty-led research project can request paid research hours under their mentor’s supervision.
