In the 2025-2026 academic year, the University of Louisville Libraries launched an Undergraduate Research Award to recognize exemplary student scholarship enriched by library services and resources. To attain submission eligibility, students completed a research consultation with a librarian/archivist. Their applications were then assessed on the quality of both their finished project and supplemental reflection on finding, accessing, and incorporating relevant source material.

As of the 2025-2026 academic year, the University Libraries are committed to offering a $1000 research award each to two eligible projects each spring.
