Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts:
UROP Fellowships and Grants
Facilitated by the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts, the Undergraduate Research and Teaching Program (UROP) is an exciting initiative designed to expose undergraduate students to the rigors and rewards of scholarship.
Students work with faculty advisors to design a research project that may range from independent research to creative projects to the presentation of research at conferences. Awards include summer fellowship grants up to $3600 and research and materials grants of $1500.
Projects receiving grants in 2006 include:
- Proust and Makine: The Link between Memory and Creative Imagination
