In addition to the scholarships awarded every year, CET independently, and in conjunction with UVU, offers several opportunities for student recognition, professional development, and potential conference and symposia participation. Student projects while at UVU and students’ academic and scholarly activities in technology and engineering are valued the most and are recognized through these awards and grants.
ONE TIME FUNDS UNDER $2,500 FOR STUDENT RELATED PROJECTS
Request one-time funds (typically used within one term) up to $2,500 total per request
from the CET Dean's Office Student Affairs area for either a) undergraduate research
and creative works, b) classroom-based student projects (including capstones), or
c) competitions. The term “scholarly activities” is used broadly to include not just academic publications,
but also professional development, research projects, engaged learning opportunities,
and similar. Completed forms must be submitted electronically to the CET Associate
Dean of Student Affairs. When multiple individuals are involved, the names, UV IDs,
and departments of all individuals should be included.
Please note that for the 2025–2026 academic year, our total available funding has been reduced by half compared to last year. This year, we have a total of $100,000 available college-wide to support all projects, including capstones, student travel, and other initiatives.

The UVU campus has funding resources for students who work with faculty mentors to
conduct in-depth
research or creative work related to their chosen field of study. Funds are available
multiple times each year,
including for travel for conference participation and presentation. Furthermore, there
are several other
opportunities for students who wish to pursue their own research if they have a faculty
mentor working with
them.
