Entrepreneurship URAs provide up to $1,500 to undergraduate researchers to support the commercialization of their ideas to solve a technical or social problem. These solutions can be new or improved products or services, address a social or “green” concern or promote ideas that generate artistic value. Students will collaborate with either a faculty member or a business mentor identified or approved by the Alex. Brown Center as they conduct their research. To be eligible for an ENTR URA students must be enrolled as a UMBC student for the duration of the work proposed. Preference will be given to students enrolled in the ENTR Minor who are serious about launching a business around their idea in the near future.
Award period: June – May (of the following year)
