Follow the Research MAP! UT’s Research Mentoring and Assistantship Pathway (Research MAP) is a service provided by the Office of Undergraduate Research that assists undergraduate students with a current Work-Study offer in applying their Work-Study support toward a research assistantship.
Students can visit their Financial Aid student portal to view if a Work-Study offer is currently part of their award package. If you are eligible for Work-Study and are unsure whether it is currently part of your financial aid package, please contact onestop@utexas.edu.
Have a Work-Study offer? To learn more about Research MAP and other research resources, please attend an OUR info session or schedule a one-on-one advising appointment and select “Research MAP – Work-Study” from the list of options.
Do not have Work-Study, but want to get involved in research?
The Office of Undergraduate research is dedicated in providing services to all students. This includes helping students engage in research with faculty mentors, share their work at research events on the UT campus, and pursue course credit and other benefits that come from doing research.
Schedule a one-on-one advising appointment and select “Individual Advising” from the list of options to learn how to get started.
Faculty: See our Faculty FAQ for more info on appointing undergraduate research assistants using Work-Study. In many cases, Work-Study can cover up to 70% of student wages, which means that the cost to you, your lab, or your department is greatly reduced.
