The Students as Scholars initiative, through the Office of Student Scholarship, Creative Activities, and Research, connects undergraduate students to faculty through the research and creative mission of Mason. We foster a culture of student scholarship by increasing participation in, and celebration of, undergraduate research and creative activities.

OSCAR offers several programs that make scholarship central to the undergraduate experience at Mason, by:

  • Linking undergraduates with faculty mentors
  • Funding undergraduate research and creative projects through the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program 
  • Providing funding for travel to conferences through the Undergraduate Student Travel Fund
  • Supporting Research and Scholarship Intensive Courses 
  • Coordinating curriculum redesign through Scholarship Development Grants
  • Hosting the annual Celebration of Student Scholarship
