Student Grants
91¸£ÀûÉç's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) offers two student grant types based on the student's involvement in the project's development. Assistantships provide funding to students to partner with a faculty mentor to help on an existing project. Individual Grants allow students to take ownership of part or all of a project with an original proposal. Learn more about Student Grants.
