sprint fellowship program

We'll provide an overview of the SPRINT Fellowship program and its structure and benefits. We will explore how these funded experiential learning opportunities—including internships, research, and teaching—can facilitate student exploration and skill development. Students will learn how and when to apply to the SPRINT fellowship program.

Undergraduate Teaching and Research Awards (UTRA)

UTRAs provide students with a funded academic experience that prepares them for graduate study and contributes directly to course development at Brown. Working in close collaboration with Brown faculty, students translate their academic knowledge into hands-on practice, resulting in new knowledge.
