The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) is pleased to announce a new program that helps foster student connections with faculty mentors called the Early Exploration Scholars Program. 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. Click here to see the 59 Early Exploration Scholars that represent majors from a diversity of colleges: Business, Cultural & Social Transformation, Fine Arts, Education, Engineering, Health, Humanities, Medicine, Nursing, Science, and Social & Behavioral Sciences.
