Research Grants and Conferences
Academic Administrative Assistantships
These assistantships allow students to do research and develop professional skills in their major fields of study in paid work positions during the academic year or the summer. The assistantships are awarded through faculty application.
Honors Grants
The Student Honors Committee offers grants to juniors and seniors who undertake independent research or creative projects that involve expenses not normally covered by a department.
Students with 3.0 GPAs in their majors may apply for grants to cover expenses for research projects and costs of travel to conferences to present research results. Recipients are expected to submit a report describing the work accomplished with the help of the grant.
Summer Research Grants
These grants provide two-month stipends and room to students who work jointly on a research project with a faculty member of the college. Grants are awarded through faculty application.
Participation in Regional and National Conferences
Each year the college sends a group of students to the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) to present papers and posters that are the result of their research or independent creative work. Interested students apply in the fall semester. Honors students also participate in many other research conferences, including those sponsored by discipline-based national honor societies.
