Funds for equipment and supplies are allocated sparingly, and careful advance planning for them is necessary. Smaller grants also are made for the partial support of cooperative projects. In no instance shall overhead or indirect costs be paid to the parent university. All Welder Fellowship recipients are encouraged to present the results of their field research at appropriate professional meetings. The foundation desires to promote publications especially those of student whose work was supported by the Foundation.
Page charges are ordinary costs of research, and they are becoming very expensive.
The student should not budget page charges in requests for funds. These funds will be provided when evidence of acceptance of the paper is received at the Foundation and when the Welder contribution number is provided for the paper. The paper must have a Welder contribution number to be eligible to receive page charges. Support of publications will be limited to a period of four years after the student has filed the thesis or dissertation. A cloth-bound copy of the final thesis is required for the Foundation's library in all phases where support has been granted.
