Support.

Support for this NAU Psychology Department Summer Research Internship has been generously provided by the National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates program, by the NAU Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Vice President for Research, the Dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and the Department of Psychology. Each student intern receives a $4500 stipend for the 10-week summer research internship, a room and board allowance in an NAU dormitory, a $500 laboratory allowance for purchasing of research supplies, equipment, travel, etc., a travel allowance to Flagstaff at the beginning of the internship and back home at the end, partial conference travel support, and occasional picnics, lunches, and recreational travel around Northern Arizona. Of course, with Flagstaff, Arizona being a highly desired national vacation spot and a cool summer paradise with 9 national monuments and parks (including, of course, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River) within 75 miles, hundreds of miles of hiking, running, and mountain biking trails immediately available on the outskirts of town, and the tallest peak in Arizona (Mt. Humphreys at 12,633’) serving as a backdrop for the summer research experience, one of the most enjoyable benefits is simply spending the summer in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona!
