The National Science Foundation funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its REU Sites program.

An REU Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs of a wide variety of host institutions, either in the US or abroad. Each student is associated with a specific research project, where they work closely with faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with housing and travel.
