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 2.50. 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 Christian A. Johnson Foundation.
