ORCA applications due Oct. 30

October 25, 2009

The BYU Office of Research and Creative Activities reminds students that ORCA grant applications are due Friday, Oct. 30, before midnight.

ORCA offers $1,500 grants to help undergraduate students work with faculty in a one-on-one setting to conduct research, field studies, or create unique projects in their discipline.

Students may either design their own project or work on a professor’s ongoing research. Some approach faculty with their own ideas while others receive ORCA grants for work they are already doing as a research or teaching assistant. All ORCA students must work with a mentor.

For more information, visit orca.byu.edu.
