Cutler Family Undergraduate Scholars Program

The Cutler Family Undergraduate Scholars Program provides students an opportunity to conduct supervised research one-on-one with a faculty advisor of their choosing. Students complete a year-long research project and submit a paper and short video abstract. They can then share these deliverables with employer recruiters or on graduate applications.

The selection process is competitive. Applicants submit a research proposal and a letter of support letter from their chosen faculty advisor. Research ideas should ideally originate from the student, and projects that identify an impact within the State of Florida receive special consideration.

The application deadline is set early in the spring semester for the following academic year. Application documents and instructions are shared broadly via the Economics Majors listserv. Please direct any questions to the Undergraduate Coordinator, Dr.  Kristian Estevez.

Successful applicants receive a $1,450 scholarship in each semester of their award year. This scholarship is funded by the generous support of the Cutler Family.
