Mini-Grant Program

The goal of the UL Undergraduate Research Mini-Grant program is two-fold: to insure that the undergraduate students at the university benefit from the university’s growing R&D program, and to improve student outcomes by facilitating undergraduate research. It is believed that students who participate in directed undergraduate research will perform well in their majors and be more prepared for their future careers.  Accordingly, the University has set aside $40K to be awarded as 20 undergraduate research mini-grants of $2000 each.  The university’s Undergraduate Research Council, with appointed members from each college, administers this mini-grant program.
