Wentz Research Award | Deadline: Feb. 15, 2012

The Wentz Research Award ($4,500) provides the opportunity for undergraduates to design and conduct original research under the supervision of a faculty mentor and is awarded for two semesters of an academic year (fall and spring). The research project description, conceived and written by the student in a style readily understandable to scholars from all disciplines, must explain clearly the purpose, research plan and expected results. The description must convince the award committee that this is student research rather than a task assigned by a faculty mentor to support his/her ongoing work. Scholars in all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Applicants may choose topics from areas not related to their major.

Niblack Research Scholars | Deadline: Feb. 24, 2012

The Niblack Research Scholars program ($8,000) fosters undergraduate student interest in scholarly research in select disciplines (refer to the application for a list of eligible fields). Scholars are assigned to research activities with a faculty sponsor and a graduate student mentor who provide professional guidance, encouragement, and direction. The research project and schedule is determined between the scholar and faculty sponsor. This award is not intended to provide faculty members with assistants, but to provide students with a valuable educational experience not available to most undergraduate students.
