URAs provide up to $1,500 to undergraduate students to support their research, scholarship, or creative work with a UMBC faculty mentor on an original project. UMBC students of all years and disciplines are invited to apply, as long as they remain enrolled at UMBC long enough to complete the proposed work.
URA scholoars are enrolled in the fall URA PRAC and are required to present at URCAD 2027. Award period is June 1, 2026- May 31, 2027.
Applications require a research proposal and mentor statement of support.
Deadline: Friday, May 1, 2026
