Undergraduate Research Grant

Click here for the application for the Spring 2012 Senate of College Councils’ Undergraduate Research Grant

The Senate of College Councils and the School of Undergraduate Studies invite you to apply for this semester’s Undergraduate Research Grant (URG). The URG seeks to encourage students to become actively involved with research in their undergraduate experience by providing funding to a deserving applicant.

Eligible applicants include students assisting a faculty member with a research project, as well as students conducting independent or partnered research. Applicants must be enrolled for 12 hours of coursework at The University of Texas at Austin and be considered an undergraduate student by the UT Office of the Registrar.

One winner will receive a $1,000 prize from the Senate of College Councils in order to be used toward funding of his or her research. The grant recipient will be expected to compose a brief paper reflecting on the subsequent research experience at the end of the academic year.

The deadline for all materials is Friday, March 23 by 5 p.m. Please submit your application in person to Becky Carreon in the Senate of College Councils’ office in a manila envelope, located in SAC 2.102.

Please contact Ryan Hirsch at ryan.hirsch@utexas.edu with any questions regarding the application.
