URSA Scholars Week
URSA Scholars Week is the annual campus-wide display of all undergraduate research currently being conducted at Baylor University. Through this event, students from all classifications and departments will have the opportunity to present their work before fellow students and faculty. A select few students from each department will receive awards for outstanding projects.
The 2021 URSA Virtual Symposium will be held April 5 - April 19, 2021.
URSA (Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Achievement) also provides small grant opportunities for students to conduct research at Baylor with a professor outside of the Scholars Week presentations. To learn more about URSA and the scholarship opportunities available, please click on the link: URSA Website
If you are interested in presenting: please fill out the submission form by March 29, 2021 at 11:59 PM CST.
