This competitive student fellowship is offered by the Division of Research and Innovation
to support students to engage with an SJSU faculty mentor in a research, scholarship,
and creative activity (RSCA) project.
This competition allows students to present their original RSCA and compete for selection
as SJSU representatives at both SJSU’s Celebration of Research and the statewide California
State University (CSU) Student Research Competition.
UROP seeks to improve retention and to enrich the academic experience at SJSU by engaging
students in RSCA during their first and second years. Through UROP students will work
up to 10 hours per week with a faculty mentor on research or scholarly projects.
