The projects must be above and beyond the normal course of study. The projects do not need to be related to the student's major, minor, or other course work. Each scholarship award is for one year and is not renewable. A student may submit another project proposal for the following year. Awards for each of these scholarships covers project costs including equipment, books, supplies, travel expenses related to the project, summer living costs while engaged in the project, computer time, etc.
All scholarships require a written report to be submitted upon completion of the projects.
Applications, Overview Summaries of Proposed Projects, Descriptions of Projects, Personal Essays, and Faculty Sponsors' Letters of Recommendation for all five scholarships are due early in February.

The Chancellor's Research Scholarship will consider proposals from students regardless of areas of study. The Julia Brown Scholarship must be completed during the summer of 2000. The David Jay Gambee Scholarship will give preference to proposals involving the student as an active citizen in university governance, the local community, or national and international affairs.
