Washington and Lee University
R.E. Lee Undergraduate Research Program
Projects are chiefly of two types: assisting a professor in research or carrying out a student-planned project under the supervision of a professor. In either case, the supported work is conducted during the summer months.
Students are nominated in January for grants-in-aid by the professor with whom they will work the following summer. Nominees must have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.0. Most recipients are known as Robert E. Lee Research Scholars; several outstanding students in the sciences will be designated Christian A. Johnson Scholars.
The Robert E. Lee Research Fund was established in 1960 through a gift from the late Dr. Gustavus Benz Capito, an 1899 graduate of Washington and Lee. Additional support has come from various sources, including the Christian A. Johnson Foundation and the E.A. Morris Foundation.
Please use the linked application to nominate a 2013 Robert E. Lee Scholar. These nominations are due February 1, 2013. Electronically submit to RELeeScholars@wlu.edu.
