Early Exploration Scholars

The
Early Exploration Scholars Program fosters student connections with faculty mentors. Early Exploration Scholars learn about research opportunities at the University of Utah and receive a $500 scholarship to explore connecting with prospective faculty mentors surrounding research. The program provides opportunities to grow research interests early on in an academic journey.
We are excited to welcome our first cohort for the Spring 2024 semester. The following 59 students represent 11 out of the 18 colleges including Business, Cultural & Social Transformation, Fine Arts, Education, Engineering, Health, Humanities, Medicine, Nursing, Science, and Social & Behavioral Sciences.
