Foundation for Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
The Foundation for Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (FURSCA) was established to promote and support student research, original scholarship and creative efforts in all disciplines. Through a number of programs, taking place at all points in a student's 
career at Albion, FURSCA can help students pursue independent study in their areas of interest. Students work closely with a faculty mentor to develop and carry out research or other creative projects. Participation in such projects provides valuable experience beyond the scope of classroom work, and enhances a student's preparedness for future employment or post-graduate studies.
FURSCA awards Academic Year Grants to purchase supplies or cover other costs associated with student research studies. We also provide funds for Conference Grants to attend professional 
meetings, or to collect data for research projects. Our Summer Research Grant program provides students with on-campus housing and a stipend for up to 10 weeks, to allow students to remain at Albion during the summer to work with faculty members on creative projects. We also co-sponsor the Elkin R. Isaac Research Symposium each spring, which showcases student 
research and scholarly activities. And in conjunction with the Honors Institute, FURSCA sponsors the Student Research Partners Program.
We're proud to provide these opportunities for students at Albion to get involved in hands-on, original and creative projects in any area of scholarship that interests them. Please contact FURSCA with questions or suggestions.
