Research Grant
Research Grants help students pursue serious academic inquiry, develop intellectual independence, and build research skills and techniques. Grant funding will be considered for project-specific research materials and expenses, approved travel costs, and living expenses (summer grants only). Students with research proposals related to Honors theses or projects will receive priority consideration.
Students with the same research goals can collaborate on a research project that relies on diverse talents and cross-disciplinary resources. For group grant applications, each participant should submit a separate application with details about their anticipated contribution to the project as well as mention the preference for a group grant.
