The University Cooperative Society has provided generous funding for the Undergraduate Research Fellowship (URF) Program.
The Co-op gift of $1000, with additional funds from the Student Government and University colleges and schools, provides university-wide funding for undergraduate student research. The Undergraduate Research Fellowship program provides support for specific scholarly research projects conducted by full-time UT undergraduate students enrolled in any department.
These fellowships are intended to cover costs associated with academic research projects proposed and written by student applicants and undertaken with the supervision of a university tenured or tenure-track faculty member, lecturer, senior lecturer or full-time research scientist/engineer.
