TUJ student research fund

TUJ Research provides funding opportunities to encourage and support undergraduate students engaged in scholarly, creative, and research projects and presentations that contribute to advancing their field of study. 

TUJ Research/Creative Project Grants provide undergraduate students grants in support of scholarly, research or creative arts projects undertaken with the supervision of a TUJ faculty mentor. An expectation of the Research/Creative Project Grant is that recipients will produce a final deliverable appropriate for their field of study (paper, exhibit, film, etc.) that advances their academic and professional development.

TUJ Conference Grants are reviewed on a rolling basis and provide funding support for undergraduate participation in and/or travel to conferences/exhibitions etc (with selection) to present original research or creative work.
