What is MURAP?

The Moore Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (MURAP) at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill is a paid summer fellowship designed to foster the entrance of a talented array of students within the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts into graduate programs in U.S. colleges and universities.

Open to rising juniors or rising seniors. Fellows are based on their commitment to research and higher education, academic standing, and recommendation letters. Come explore a day in the life of a MURAP student here.
