URSCA – Undergraduate Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activities

URSCA
Undergraduate Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activities

IMPORTANT – Due to the funding type, URSCA can support only current UWSP undergraduate student research fellowship​, travel, and poster applications. If you are a graduate student and apply for an URSCA grant, your application will be denied.

As a high impact practice, undergraduate research and creative activities engage students in actively contested questions, creative expression, empirical observation, cutting-edge technologies, and the sense of excitement that comes from working to answer important questions. S​tudents gain many benefits from engaging in these activities, including preparation for graduate study, professional schools, job skills, and networking.

Funds are available​ for research fellowships, ​student ​travel, conference registrations, and poster printing.​ We hope you will consider applying, and we are here to help if you have questions. Contact us at: oscar@uwsp.edu
