Our Mission and Values

We serve to inform the Tulane community that grant, research, scholarship/fellowship opportunities exist for every interest, field of study, and demographic, and all are welcome to engage with us to explore pathways to enhance and reach their goals.

These opportunities require an application and can be competitive. Our role is to empower each applicant by encouraging self-reflection, helping to hone communication skills, and aiding them to build conduits to the future selves that they need to be.

URAF provides students with growth-focused assistance. We accompany them, and together we build rapport to envision new outcomes and paths for reaching academic, professional and personal goals.
