ORCA, BYU’s Office of Research and Creative Activities, offers $1,500 grants to help undergraduate students work with faculty in a one-on-one setting to conduct research, field studies, or create unique projects in their discipline. These grants are used to reimburse both students and faculty for time, supplies, and/or other expenses involved with conducting an academic project.

Whether students choose to design their own project or work on a professor’s ongoing research, they must work with a mentor. Students may receive ORCA grants for work they are already doing as a research or teaching assistant.
