Creative Arts, Research and Scholarship Program
The Creative Arts, Research and Scholarship (CARAS) Program provides funding to encourage and support undergraduate students engaged in scholarly, creative, and research projects that contribute to advancing their field of study. Two types of grants are made through the CARAS Program: Research/Creative Project Grants provide undergraduate students support for scholarly, research or creative arts projects undertaken with the supervision of a faculty mentor. Travel Grants provide funds for undergraduate travel to present research or creative work at professional conferences. Visit CARAS for more information.
Diamond Peer Teachers Program
The Diamond Peer Teachers Program is a competitive program providing upper division undergraduates at Temple University the opportunity to experience the challenges and rewards of college-level teaching, to develop their own pedagogical skills by working closely with their faculty mentors, and to provide supplemental instruction in lower-level and GenEd courses. Peer Teachers earn a stipend and one (1) internship credit. Visit Diamond Peer Teachers Program for more information.
Diamond Research Scholars Program
The Diamond Research Scholars Program offers a seven-month long funded research experience under the direction of a faculty mentor. Participants receive a summer stipend and register for a research or independent study course in the fall for their research or creative arts project. Scholars are expected to participate in Temple's annual Symposium for Undergraduate Research and Creativity. Visit Diamond Research Scholars Program for more information.

Through its emphasis on original research and creative work, the Symposium seeks to inspire undergraduate students to analyze, critique, and engage with the world around them.
