This is Amy. She was a URA Scholar. She got $1,500 for her research on early film history.
"The money I got from Undergraduate Research helped me explore many early silent films from collections all over the world," said Amy. "I was delighted that the URA award is open to all majors" she added with great vigor.
URAs provide up to $1,500 to undergraduate students to support their research, scholarship, or creative work with a UMBC faculty mentor on an original project. UMBC students of all years and disciplines are invited to apply, as long as they remain enrolled at UMBC long enough to complete the proposed work.
Applications require a research proposal and mentor statement of support.
