Funding for Undergraduate Research
To assist undergraduate students to develop towards independent research, the College of Arts & Science offers funds for “Support for Undergraduate Research Activities and Travel (SURAT)”. Four times per year, undergraduate students may apply for grant funds to help support their research activities (e.g., research supplies, participant incentives), or help offset the costs of travel to a research conference or fieldwork opportunity. These funds assist students who do not have other means of supporting their work, such as through individual awards (e.g., Mizzou Forward) or faculty mentor grants or support funds. Funds will be given as student grant, not as scholarships.
