When:  Deadline is September 26, 2008

Why:   These awards are for all types of faculty-mentored independent student scholarship. The program consists of three types of grants; Research Grants, Travel Grants and Small Project Awards. 

• Research Grants:

  Supply and expense grants of up to $500 per project are awarded to Towson University undergraduate students engaged in scholarly research activities under the mentorship of Towson University faculty members. Research funds may be used for supplies, books, software, equipment and travel as appropriate to the project.  Projects may be carried out over one or two semesters and involve close collaboration of the student and faculty member.

   

• Small Project Awards

Grants of up to $100 per student are awarded to Towson University undergraduate students engaged in smaller-scale independent scholarly activities under the mentorship of Towson University faculty members. The funds may be used for travel, admission fees, supplies, books, software, and equipment as appropriate to the project.  Funds may not be used for stipends or reimbursement for services.

 

• Travel Grants

Grants are awarded for students to present their research at professional meetings. The funds may be used for travel, housing, registration and meals. Requests of up to $500.00 will be considered. However, a higher budget request will be considered in unusual cases for which the need is thoroughly documented. Students must be the primary presenters of either an oral or poster report. Preference will be given to proposals involving presentations at discipline-specific meetings where students may advance their scholarly and educational goals.

There will be one deadline for Grants each semester The fall deadline will be four weeks into the semester (Friday September 26st). We hope to let applicants know the status of their requests within two weeks. We will accept Small Project Award proposals on a rolling basis.
