UHC encourages undergraduate and graduate students attending an accredited college or university in Utah to explore research and scholarship of important topics in the humanities. Student Research Fellows must conduct at least one public program tailored for and delivered to a general public audience to ensure that the shared stories are available to communities in Utah. Student fellowships support research in the study of history, philosophy and ethics, literature, linguistics, languages, jurisprudence, cultural anthropology, archaeology, comparative religions, art history and/or criticism, folklore, or interdisciplinary scholarship in these areas.
The number of Student Research Fellowships awarded vary each year. For 2012, five awards at $2,000 each are available and will be awarded and divided between the following two catagories:
Undergraduate Student Research Fellowship
