Accordingly, students who wish to go abroad immediately after receiving their degrees should apply in the third year. Deadlines vary from club to club. The College of Arts and Sciences supports independent student research projects earning academic credit under the supervision of a member of the faculty. Please have the instructor supervising the project cosign the letter to signify her or his support for the proposal as outlined. This small fellowship fund has been substantially increased and professors are urged to encourage worthy proposals from students.
Research can be for one semester or for the entire year.
The University of Virginia will NOT send 1099 forms to recipients of the fellowships. If the fellowship along with other grant assistance exceeds tuition, fees, and books, it will be the responsibility of the recipients to report this information on their 1999 tax return. Thus, it is important that those obtaining loans remember that as long as their debt is outstanding, another student in need of funds may be unable to receive them. A student is eligible to apply for a second loan if the first loan that semester was repaid on time. In return for the Fund's monetary assistance, a loan recipient is expected to fulfill certain obligations.
