Undergraduate students at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock are eligible to receive $1,000 to fund a signature experience during the spring 2018 semester. 

Applications for the Undergraduate Research Signature Experience Awards are due Monday, Oct. 16.

UA Little Rock is providing 50 $1,000 grants so students can participate in a one-semester signature experience, such as a research project, creative activity, or community service project.

Chancellor Andrew Rogerson announced the new program this fall to inspire UA Little Rock undergraduate students to conduct research and creative projects to enrich their academic experience.

In order to apply, students must have a minimum 2.5 grade point average and a tenure-track faculty member to oversee the project.

Projects must be completed by the end of the 2018 spring semester. Student award recipients will present their findings from the projects at the 2018 spring Undergraduate Research and Creative Works Expo.

Applications can be submitted to the Office of the Provost, Room 415 in the Student Services Center, or by email as a single PDF file to Ross Bradley at rabradley@ualr.edu.

For more information, contact Dr. Jeremy Ecke at jsecke@ualr.edu.
