Application Process
The applications for URH programs are on the URH Academic Works website. To apply to one of these programs, you need to complete both the common/undergraduate application and a program specific application. When you start to apply to any program, you will automatically start with the common/undergraduate application. After you complete that, you will be directed to the program specific application.
Depending on the program, the following components may be part of the application: Project proposal, personal statement, letter of recommendation/support, transcripts. Each program has different requirements. You can learn more about the specific requirements from our Programs At-a-Glance guide here. Be sure to double check the requirements for each specific opportunity when applying. Feel free to reach out the program coordinator(s) if you have any questions.
