Undergraduate Research and Creative Works Travel Awards
Undergraduate Research and Creative Works Travel Awards (UTA) enable Southwestern undergraduates to enhance their professional development and network with thought leaders in their fields.
Undergraduate Research and Creative Works Travel Awards (UTA) gives students the opportunity to disseminate the research they have conducted. Travel applications are being accepted throughout the academic school year. The student needs to complete the UTA application for approval. Please review the 23-24 Guidelines before submitting the application.
Unlike in the previous Fleming or Sarofim awards process, students do not apply on
their own. Rather, the faculty or staff mentor must complete the application on their
behalf, even if the mentor is not planning to travel with their student. Faculty and staff
need only submit one application per conference/travel opportunity, regardless of how
many students will attend (faculty may support more than one student).
Faculty and staff may apply prior to receiving formal confirmation of acceptance to a
conference or other opportunity, but must show proof of participation with the Dean’s
Office.
