KU Center for Undergraduate Research & Fellowships

The Office of Fellowships guides KU students applying for competitive, external awards at the national and international level.

We guide KU students through the process of applying for nationally competitive fellowships and scholarships and connecting to undergraduate research opportunities. Housed in Academic Success, the office coordinates the campus nomination process for the following awards: Astronaut, Beinecke, Carnegie Junior Fellows, Churchill, Goldwater, Knight-Hennessy, Marshall, Mitchell, Newman Civic, Rhodes, Truman, and Udall. We're also available to provide guidance on other opportunities!

Last month, we were honored to host the 29th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium, giving more than 150 students the opportunity to present their research and creative works to peers, family, and experts alike. Each and every one of these students presented truly remarkable projects and we can't wait to see what the next academic year brings!

Students presented both in-person and online, here's some highlights of those in-person events here!
