Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creativity advises students and their faculty mentors to jump on two opportunities to get their work in front of the community. Deadlines for the Undergrad Research and Creativity Awards and the Carolyn & Norwood Thomas Undergraduate Research and Creativity Expo are in February.
Undergrad Research and Creativity Awards
URCA helps faculty and students partner in meaningful projects that result in advances in understanding within their discipline or field of study. This funding can be used to help defray the cost of material expenses, travel expenses, or can be used to provide a stipend for the students.
Students can receive up to $5,000 in funding for up to two of the following funding periods: summer session I, summer session II, fall, and spring. The funding maximums are $2,500 for each of the summer sessions and $1,500 for the fall or spring semesters. Faculty can request up to $500 in support of the project’s cost.
The deadline to apply is Feb. 16.
Undergraduate Research and Creativity Expo
The Carolyn & Norwood Thomas Undergraduate Research and Creativity Expo is the campus-wide celebration of undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activities. All students engaged in faculty-mentored scholarly inquiry are encouraged to participate. They have the chance to place first through third in seven categories, each of which grants them a monetary award.
The deadline to sing up is Feb. 18.
