Undergraduate Research Fellowship
CCIH, in support of the Catholic Studies Minor, funds a year-long fellowship to undergraduate students who are currently enrolled in the Catholic Studies Minor program. This fellowship was first designed in tandem with CCIH funded faculty research projects. However, it has gradually morphed into an opportunity for students to research and present on topics that are near or intriguing to them. Thus, students can either operate as research assistants to Center-funded faculty-led projects, or may construct their own, accompanied by a faculty mentor of their choosing.
Students submit completed applications online through the Loyola Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (LUROP) by March 1.
