Each is for a minimum of four quarters during a single calendar year and may be renewed two times. Two one-quarter fellowships are available for off campus research that might include such activities as intensive writing, music, computer, design or art workshops, or research at national laboratories or specialized facilities. Participating students will work with a faculty mentor. In addition to conducting their research, students also will have opportunities to participate in informal peer discussions and to make presentations about their work at regional and national meetings. Applications for the new fellowships will be available this fall, said Associate Vice President for Research Christine Curtis.
Application is open to students with sophomore standing of higher.
A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher is required. During summer, fellowship students should devote their full energies to research and can take no more than one class. Co-op students also are encouraged to participate, Curtis added. Governance of the program will be under a steering committee comprised of the vice president for research, associate vice president for research, director of the Honors College, a faculty coordinator for the undergraduate research program, one dean, one associate dean for research, one faculty member representing four different colleges and schools, and one member at large.
