Undergraduate Research Grants (URG) fund independent academic and creative work in all fields of study.

Under faculty supervision, URG winners immerse themselves in novel scholarly projects in the laboratory, the library, or the studio, on campus and around the world.

Students of all years may apply for several types of grants. Academic Year Grants cover research expenses up to $1000 for a quarter-length project. Summer Grants provide an unrestricted $3000 to cover research and living expenses for full-time summer projects. Students can apply for Academic Year Grants at any of the recurring deadlines throughout Fall and Winter Quarters, and for Summer Grants at a separate deadline in late Winter Quarter.

Projects with international research travel may exceed these limits as long as the student provides a separate detailed budget for all travel costs.

NEW! Conference Travel Grants (maximum $500) are also available to students who will present creative productions or research findings at an academic meeting.
