<p>Some schools, as part of their undergrad recruiting, have formal programs of paid research experience for star undergrads, kind of a form of merit aid, I suspect. I don’t think Chicago has this. </p>
<p>You can get an idea of what they do have by finding the College Research Opportunities Program (CROP) website. Keep in mind that the best spots probably never get listed.</p>
