Fellowships and Grants
Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts (ISLA)
The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) within ISLA enables students to transcend the conventional boundaries of classroom learning and engage in hands-on research and creative projects. UROP facilitates in-depth, self-directed learning by providing grants to support an array of needs associated with undergraduate projects.
UROP gives students the opportunity to design all aspects of their projects, from identifying a research topic or creative goal to developing a persuasive narrative, reasonable timetable, and appropriate budget.
Each student is guided through this process by a faculty member of their choosing with the goal of forming a one-on-one interaction that can elevate the student-teacher relationship to that of colleagues working together on a subject of mutual interest. In all these respects, UROP gives the students in the College extraordinary opportunities to pursue scholarship and creative works that reflect their own interests and aspirations.
