µÚÒ»³Ô¹Ï

Monthly Mini-Grants

These µÚÒ»³Ô¹Ï grants support academic-year undergraduate research and travel in all disciplines. Awards are up to $1000 and students may receive up to one mini-grant per semester. Interested students should apply for mini-grants at large. There is no need to indicate the specific mini-grant(s) for which you would like to be considered.: 

• The Davis Fund fosters undergraduate interests in international affairs.
• The Grua/O’Connell Fund* supports faculty-mentored student research, regardless of discipline.  Awards from this fund can be used to offset student travel that will substantially enhance students’ research and to defray students’ research expenses such as purchasing of books and equipment, publishing research results, or any combination of these expenses. 
• The Koelln Fund supports faculty-mentored student research in the exploration of a topic that surmounts traditional disciplinary boundaries. The purpose of the fund is to encourage broad, essentially humanistic inquiry, and will be awarded with preference given to worthy projects founded at least in part in the humanities. 
• The Roberts Fund supports an underprivileged scholar to do research in any field. Please note that the Student Fellowships Committee defines "underprivileged scholar" as a student who is currently receiving aid from µÚÒ»³Ô¹Ï. Students planning on a career in teaching are ineligible for the Roberts Fund.

Applications are considered monthly and are due on the 15th of every month. 

Fall Research Award

An award to support student research, regardless of discipline, that will substantially enhance students’ honors projects or research being conducted under the mentorship of a faculty member. Awards can also be used to defray the expenses of materials. Awards may be used in conjunction with other funding. Typically, awards do not exceed $2500 and approximately 15 awards are made each year. 

Applications are due in the fall, but awards can support research projects that occur anytime throughout the academic year.

Awards from this fund support: 

• student travel that will substantially enhance students’ honors projects or research being conducted under the mentorship of a faculty member (e.g., travel to library/archive or to another location to conduct research, or travel to a conference to present results), or 
• students’ research expenses such as purchasing of books and equipment, publishing research results, or any combination of these expenses.
