Deadline extended to February 12
The Undergraduate Glasscock Scholars (UGS) program (formerly Undergraduate Summer Scholars) is the result of a collaboration between the Melbern G. Glasscock Center for Humanities Research (GCHR), the University Writing Center (UWC), and LAUNCH Undergraduate Research. For 2024–5, UGS is financially supported by the GCHR, the College of Arts & Sciences, and the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs. UGS provides high-impact undergraduate research in the humanities through an intensive summer research experience. Participation in the Undergraduate Glasscock Scholars program sharpens students’ research and writing skills, positioning them for competitive applications for graduate and professional school. Scholars receive a $2,000 scholarship for participation.
Once selected, Undergraduate Glasscock Scholars enroll in a two-week intensive seminar taught by their respective Faculty Directors and complete a series of writing workshops created especially for this program through the University Writing Center. Then, UGS develop individual research thesis proposals for submission to the LAUNCH Undergraduate Research Scholars thesis program for projects that they will complete during the academic year under the guidance of their Faculty Director. In March, Scholars present their work at the Undergraduate Humanities Research Symposium, sponsored by the Glasscock Center.
