Mentored Scholars Matching Fund (currently on hold)
The Mentored Scholars Matching Fund is designed to address two barriers to undergraduate research and creative scholarship (including art). Undergraduate students at CSU identified several barriers that prevent them from becoming more involved in research and artistry. Two of the top barriers were the inability to perform uncompensated work and the difficulty of finding available research opportunities. The matching funds will help to reduce the financial barrier, and a requirement for faculty to advertise the position via Handshake will help reduce the information barrier. Faculty from all disciplines are encouraged to apply.
