Description
The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR), through its Division of Arts and Humanities, offers scholarships supporting undergraduate research and creative inquiry. The program encourages diverse, innovative, and engaged undergraduate work across the disciplines CUR defines as arts and humanities. Projects may be at any stage of development, up to and including presentation.
The disciplinary scope encompasses scholarly research and creative work in literature, languages, history, philosophy, the arts, and related fields. Supported areas include both discipline-specific projects and selected interdisciplinary and area studies. Applications ask students to explain their project’s aims, context, contribution, methods, and intended dissemination, alongside its relevance to their learning goals. Faculty mentor support is part of the application and review.
