BSI Scholars also receive a $4,500 stipend and free university housing during the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Competition for the BSI is high; the Director of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity, <a href=\"mailto:llewelly@butler.edu\">Dr. Lindsay Lewellyn<\/a> can guide you through the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve conducted your research, be sure to share your findings at the annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/academics\/undergraduate-research-conference\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Undergraduate Research Conference\">Undergraduate Research Conference<\/a>, or help to defray costs associated with presenting your work at professional conferences by applying for a Travel-to-Present grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"link-list layout-links\" >\n    <div class=\"link-list__container link-list__grid-default\">\n                        <div class=\"list-list__linkWrapper link-list__grid-default\">\n                                <ul class=\"wysiwyg__ctaLinks\">\n                                                        <li>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/academics\/engaged-learning\/butlersummerinstitute\/\" class=\"button-link-right button-link-right--color-blue-bright\" >Butler Summer Institute<\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n                                                        <li>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/academics\/engaged-learning\/student-grants\/\" class=\"button-link-right button-link-right--color-blue-bright\" >Undergraduate Research Grants<\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n                                                        <li>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalcommons.butler.edu\/bjur\/?_ga=2.102069761.1656487830.1636975592-1027517739.1606138348\" class=\"button-link-right button-link-right--color-blue-bright\" >Butler Journal of Undergraduate Research<\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n                                                        <li>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/academics\/undergraduate-research-conference\/\" class=\"button-link-right button-link-right--color-blue-bright\" >Undergraduate Research Conference<\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n                                                        <li>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/academics\/undergraduate-research\/beckman-scholars\/\" class=\"button-link-right button-link-right--color-blue-bright\" >Beckman Scholars<\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n                                            <\/ul>\n                                \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-390","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"revision_note":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.2 (Yoast SEO v26.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Undergraduate Research &amp;
