Student Grants

Applying

We offer two student grant types based on the student's involvement in the project's development.

Assistantships

Assistantships provide funding to students to partner with a faculty mentor to help on an existing project.

Individual Grants

Individual Grants allow students to take ownership of part or all of a project with an original proposal.

Participate in the Sidewalk Symposium on April 25, 2025

Developed and hosted in Boulder since 2018, UROP's Sidewalk Symposium invites undergraduates to create and share their research and creative presentations with chalk on campus walkways. UROP welcomes undergraduates at any stage of their project timeline.

The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) represents an opportunity to enable student-centered education that makes the most of ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder’s global leadership in research and creative production. With well-documented benefits from persistence to postgraduate success, engagement in the research and creative life of the university can clarify career paths and prepare students for the future of work. Donations support empowering opportunities in all fields of study. .
