  • 53 research projects explored a wide variety of projects ranging from studying microorganisms to studying asteroid collisions. See more 2012 projects.
  • Students received a $3,700 stipend for 10 weeks of research.
  • 60% of the projects were externally funded by grants from outside Calvin College
  • 29% more were funded by private donors
