Request Presentations at your Student Organization
URF is happy to present at student organizations or events! In fact, the best way to promote undergraduate research and scholarship opportunities is through word of mouth. If your organization promotes opportunities and advancement in your field, then we would be honored to present how URF can support student scholars. Request a presentation on our website. (And, no. We can’t do birthday parties).

Maximize your Undergraduate Experience with Fellowships Advising
Nationally competitive fellowships and scholarships support a wide range of activities that can orient or enhance your academic experience and professional career. Fellowships support study abroad, advancing work into the policy space, or deepening your research projects. Don’t think you’re fellowship material? We respectfully disagree. There is no ideal or typical candidate, and review committees seek interesting applicants and consider the “whole person.” If you haven’t considered how fellowships may impact your life, start by searching URF’s list of scholarship and fellowships and request a fellowships advising appointment.
