Undergraduate Research Award in Mathematics

Undergraduate Research Awards in Mathematics (MathUGRAs) are $1,000 scholarships provided to undergraduate students pursuing original research or creative projects under the general guidance of a KU math faculty member. Each MathUGRA proposal must be sponsored by a KU Math faculty member who has read and approved the proposal and who agrees to act as the faculty advisor and mentor and to help ensure the completion of the project. MathUGRAs are awarded to students conducting semester-long independent projects culminating in an oral presentation or written work, demonstrating the student’s own development of a topic in mathematics and its applications. (The MathUGRAs are not intended, for example, to support trips to workshops or the like). Aside from recognizing student accomplishments, the MathUGRA competition provides an incentive for students to improve their writing and to gain a deeper knowledge of mathematics.
