Abstract

The Undergraduate Research Scholars Program (URSP) is a competitive internal grant at Mason that funds student-mentor teams to engage in scholarly and creative activity. The application for URSP is a narrative proposal that requires the student to articulate the value of the scholarly project and clearly outline the process by which s/he plans to complete it. The process of writing a grant proposal reaches several key learning outcomes and may be modified to suit a classroom setting.
