Grant for Independent Research and Equipment

<p>Hello!
I just became involved in two research projects this summer at my university, and I have become very interested in doing independent studies concerning my major (Electrical Engineering). Because of my finances (or lack thereof), I was wondering if there was a way to find out if there existed such a type of grant that would cover costs of research (mainly development materials: i.e. microcontrollers, development boards, etc.).</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,

<p>Some universities have funds available exactly for this purpose. Ask at your department and also at the university’s financial aid office.</p>
