The UO’s Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) has announced two new scholarships for undergraduate researchers.

The UROP Mini-grant program provides grants of up to $1,000 that may be used by undergraduate award recipients to purchase materials, equipment, and supplies that are necessary to complete their project and/or assist with travel expenses related to their project.  Awards will be given out twice during the academic year, once during the fall term and the winter term. Applicants must have a minimum 3.0 GPA, a project proposal finalized and a faculty mentor secured prior to applying.

The fellowships are open to students from all majors. Applicants must have a minimum 3.0 GPA, a project proposal finalized and a faculty mentor secured prior to applying. Applications will be available in early January, 2016.
