CUGR Undergraduate Research Fellowship
General Fellowship Information
The Academic Year and Summer Fellowships were created to provide financial support for undergraduate students to foster an environment where students can become involved in meaningful faculty-supervised research. Student proposals are reviewed and scored by the CUGR Advisory Committee. The awarded projects are selected based on the scores from the reviews and panel discussions. Each proposal must include an abstract, project description, a timeline, a budget justification, and a faculty commitment letter. If awarded this fellowship, the student must complete their project within the specified period. More information about deadlines, how to apply, where to send proposals, and the fellowship contract can be found on the CUGR website. For more information, please contact CUGR@maine.edu, 207-581-3583, or 5717 Corbett Hall, Orono, ME, 04469.
Academic Year Fellowships through CUGR
Each AY fellowship provides $1,500 to cover project costs such as supplies, relevant travel, or a stipend. Undergraduate students of any discipline who are currently enrolled in a degree program at the University of Maine or the University of Maine at Machias may submit a proposal in cooperation with a faculty mentor. Applicants need to describe the research in the context of scholarly activities while presenting it so that it is understandable to those outside of the applicant’s research field. Award Recipients must also submit a report including technical and financial data and are expected to present the product of their research at the annual UMaine Student Symposium: Research and Creative Activity.
