Colleges, universities, and community colleges in North Carolina host a symposium each year to showcase N.C. undergraduate student research and creative work. SNCURCS (pronounced as ‘snickers’) provides undergraduate scholars in all fields a forum to share the results of their work through posters, presentations, performances, and works of art.
If you’re a sophomore in North Carolina, you’re also eligible for the George Barthalmus Undergraduate Research Award to support ongoing undergraduate research. Applications for 2026-2027 awards will be accepted in the fall.
SNCURCS 2026 will be co-hosted by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (location) and Central Piedmont Community College on November 7, 2026.
