Each spring, the UT Austin Office of Undergraduate Research is pleased to award Research or Conference Travel scholarships to a few UT undergraduates to help them pursue research beyond Austin or present their work at a conference. If you will present on your research at a professional meeting or if you plan to travel to engage in research in the near future, we invite you submit an application. Students must have a confirmation of acceptance or participation in order to be awarded funding.
Undergraduates may submit application forms for the OUR’s research or conference travel scholarships at any time of the year, but we make our awards in the spring semester (usually late March). Scholarships awarded through this opportunity typically range between $250 and $500, and we expect to award approximately three to six scholarships this year. Some preference will be shown to students who do not have alternative sources of funding available to them.
Application: The application deadline for our Research or Conference Travel scholarship is Friday, March 7, 2014.
