Please join us on Wednesday, April 12th at 3:30 PM for the awards ceremony in the Ballroom of the Union during which the prize winners in the various categories will be announced. We encourage all participants to join us for the awards ceremony and to invite their families, friends, mentors, and faculty members to attend.
To recognize exemplary scholarly achievements, monetary prizes will be awarded. One first-place award ($100) will be given in each section. Students working together in groups of four or less will each receive the award money independently. The maximum amount awarded for groups with five or more members will be $400, and the award money will be evenly distributed amongst the group members. Award money will be deposited directly into the student’s MSU account.
First-place award recipients will be considered for the grand prize award, which will be announced in early summer. All first-place award recipients will be contacted to submit a brief paper on their UURAF program topic and an electronic version of their poster or oral presentation. The Editorial Board and staff members for the Red Cedar Undergraduate Research Journal (ReCUR) will review submissions. A total of two grand prizes ($500 each) will be awarded to one program from the science and engineering categories and one program from the humanities, social sciences, and communication arts and sciences categories.
