NSF PRIME Project

Partnerships, Research, Internships, Mentoring, and Engagement

The PRIME Project will fund undergraduate research internships with a stipend of $5,000 per student. Each research experience will be paid at $20 per hour for 250 hours. This internship can be summer, fall, and/or spring semesters or a combination of all three and will be agreed upon by the student researcher and faculty mentor. Each intern must complete a minimum of 10 hours each month. 

The TWU PRIME Program is to encourage students majoring in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) fields to gain undergraduate research experience, complete their degrees and pursue careers in STEM fields. This project is funded by the National Science Foundation as part of the Hispanic Serving Institution STEM initiative under the Directorate for STEM Education, the Division of Equity for Excellence in STEM and the Division of Undergraduate Education.
