Student Research Awards
The College of Liberal Arts provides support for undergraduate research and creative projects through its Faculty and Undergraduate Research Committee. In its expectations and activities, this committee is aligned with the Towson University Undergraduate Research and Creative Inquiry Committee.
The College of Liberal Arts will provide undergraduate students the opportunity to apply for monetary support to assist financing their independent research projects. These scholarships are for use within the academic year to declared majors within the College, who demonstrate strong academic performance.
