Falcon Scholars: URSCA Track
As a Falcon Scholar, you have $2,000 available to use in your junior or senior year for undergraduate research or study abroad. If you elect the research track, your funds can be used to pay for research expenses (supplies, disposable equipment, travel to conduct your research), and for a financial aid stipend to help support you while you pursue your project.
To use your funds for undergraduate research, you will learn this process:
- How to develop an idea and find a research mentor
- How to create a research plan
- How to develop a timeline and build a research budget
To conduct a research project, you will need to submit a research proposal. To learn more about how to write a research plan/proposal, check out this handout!
Wondering how to begin? When to begin?
Come see us—It's never too early! Make an appointment, and/or attend one or all of the upcoming URSCA Mini-Forums, a "how-to" series designed to help you with every phase of this process, and/or one of the other URSCA Workshops.
