- Question 1: In your own words, please provide a description of the project-related activities you will participate in for the URSA Engage Program.
- Question 2: How will participating in URSA Engage impact you personally and professionally?
- Question 3: What is an obstacle you have faced in getting to where you are now and how have you addressed it?
*Note: A faculty mentor must agree to work with you BEFORE you can apply for URSA Engage.
Financial Aid Award
Students in this program receive an award of $1000 which will be transferred into the student’s OSU account as two installments. $400 will be applied in the Winter term, and $600 in the Spring term after we have verified you are continuing in your project.
It is possible that this award could affect a student's financial aid package. If you are concerned that your financial aid may be impacted, please contact a Financial Aid Advisor.
