Fellowships and Scholarships

Guidelines

• Applicants must be current Honors students in good standing (GPA 3.2 or higher) at the associated deadline.

• First preference will be given to applicants who are pursuing one of two research-intensive graduation distinctions: University Honors Research Scholar and Honors Research Scholar.

• Funding should relate directly to a student’s approved research plan and requires faculty sponsorship.

• If seeking funding for conference travel support, the meeting or conference should be of regional or national importance, and the student should be presenting their research as part of the formal conference program.

• Research support provided by any other party (department, school, major professor, etc.) must be listed on the application form.

• The above criteria are the minimum for applying for research funding. Applicants should not assume that satisfying these criteria will automatically guarantee funding.

Fellowships will be granted based on factors such as the student’s anticipated graduation date, commitment to the Honors College, and project needs. The Honors College cannot guarantee that all applicants will be granted an Honors College Research Fellowship. Fellowship amounts generally range between $500 to $1500.

In order to have a valid and complete submission, both students and faculty must complete their sections of the application. Students should contact their research advisor/mentor prior to starting the student application and then work with their advisor/mentor to complete all sections. Students will also need to provide their advisor/mentor with a link to the Faculty Endorsement section of this application. Any applications missing completed faculty endorsements will be disqualified from funding.
