The Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters (UASAL) was founded in 1908 “to promote investigations and diffuse knowledge in all areas of science.” In 1933 UASAL expanded to include arts and letters and now supports scholarly work from fine arts to physics through our annual conference and peer-reviewed journal.
This scholarship is available to students at the University of Utah who are engaging in a research study with a faculty mentor in the fall and early spring semesters, with the intention to present their work at the UASAL Annual Conference (held in March each year at a different member institution). This scholarship includes UASAL conference registration, travel accommodations (if needed), poster printing (if needed), a $250 stipend to support the student’s research work in the preceding fall semester, and $250 additional compensation for the faculty mentor.
