The Illinois Office of Undergraduate Research (https://undergradresearch.illinois.edu/) is an excellent resource for undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing research opportunities on campus.  They provide funding for conference travel as well as undergraduate research support grants.   

Their Research Support Grant (RSG) is open to students from all disciplines, providing funds necessary to conduct research or creative projects during the academic year both on and off-campus (including summer terms). Awards will be up to $2,000 and are meant to cover research travel costs, living expenses incurred during academic breaks (i.e., winter break and summer terms, NOT regular semester living expenses), and materials or other ancillary costs. We hope that this competition will both broaden and deepen the types of research being conducted by undergraduate students on campus, and that the recipients are able to use this opportunity as a way of engaging with their fields.
