Undergraduate Leadership Awards

(formerly known as Scholarly and Creative Activity Grants for Undergraduates)

This undergraduate initiative is designed to encourage students in every discipline across the campus to be involved in substantive ways in scholarly or creative activities with a faculty member. The emphasis of this initiative is to provide a high quality experience for undergraduates by introducing them to the research or creative paradigms and practices of a discipline through close working relationships with faculty.
