UGA Libraries' Undergraduate Research Awards

DUE DATE FOR APPLICATIONS EXTENDED TO MARCH 14, 2024

Since 2007, the UGA Libraries has sponsored the Undergraduate Research Awards, which provide cash prizes for excellence in research. All UGA undergraduates are eligible!

Prizes range from $200-$300.

Whether you are creating a historical thesis, policy paper, composition for piano or a scientific study, you are eligible to apply for this award with the following steps:

  1. Meet with a librarian for a research consultation. The librarian will email you after your research conference with a summary that you will attach to the application form.
  2. Write a 3-5 page essay describing and reflecting upon your research process and project.
  3. Include the bibliography of sources used in your research project with your application.
  4. Fill out the application form and attach required documents.

Research projects may still be in progress by award deadlines. Completed projects must have been finished within the past year (Spring 2023-present). Please see the Essay Guidelines, Application Form and Application Checklist for details. 

DUE DATE FOR APPLICATIONS EXTENDED TO MARCH 14.

Prizes will be awarded at the CURO Symposium, held on April 8-9, 2024. Students do not need to be part of the CURO program to be eligible for the Libraries' Undergraduate Research Award.
