Students can now submit proposals for the fall 2020 Undergraduate Research Fellowships, which provide up to $1,000 to support expenses for independent research or creative activity in any major.

Sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research and the academic colleges, URF awards cover costs for scholarly projects proposed by student applicants that are undertaken with the supervision of a faculty member. Awards are made in the fall and spring through the Office of Undergraduate Research.

The fall 2020 URF deadline is 11:59 p.m. Monday, Sept. 28. Students conducting independent projects are invited to learn more about the award (including the application process, eligibility, and writing tips) and access the online application. More info about other sources for student research funding can be found on the OUR scholarships page.

Students can learn more about the application process at our online funding workshop Thursday, Sept. 10 at 11 a.m. on Zoom. Students can register for the workshop on the OUR web site.
