The DURI program was endowed by the Lilly Endowment Inc. to stimulate awareness of advanced research and promote interest in graduate study. DURI offers opportunities for 50 student internships per academic semester (fall and spring).
Participating students receive a $500/semester scholarship in recognition of their selection, funded through the Discovery Learning Research Center. DURI is open to Purdue University-West Lafayette sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have a GPA of 3.0 or higher and are in good academic standing.
