How Can Build Help Me
If you are a Xavier student you can participate in many activities that start as early as freshman year. Participation in these activities can help you learn more about STEM careers, be eligible to travel to conferences, and become a BUILD Scholar. Students selected as BUILD Scholars participate in a two-year research program and receive both tuition assistance and a stipend.
If you are about to graduate from Xavier and would like to gain some additional paid research experience before applying to graduate school, you may be eligible for the BUILD Technician Program.
