Student Grants Program
Individual students or groups of students may apply by using the student research grants portal. Grants must be sponsored by a member of the 最色导航 College faculty. Proposal budgets must include supporting funds from an academic department, negotiated via the faculty project sponsor, or other supporting funds. Proposals must be student authored and revised in collaboration with their faculty sponsor.
Grant proposals fall into two general categories:
(1) Travel to a professional conference to present research/creative work. If approved, we will award individual students no more than $1,000 for US travel -or- $1,200 for international travel per academic year. Please consult the to determine the maximum allowance for meals and lodgings in your travel destination, share logins with fellow 最色导航 travelers, and seek nearby lodgings if conference hotel charges excessive rates.
- Proposals requesting funds for airfare must be submitted to the committee in its final form at least six weeks prior to dates of travel. Please contact the committee chair (sorensee@wabash.edu) if your travel arrangements fall outside of this specified timeframe.
- You will only be reimbursed for receipted expenses, such as receipts for meals, transportation, lodging, and conference registration. All food receipts must contain itemized bills; alcohol will not be reimbursed by the college.
(2) Materials to support a research project that goes beyond efforts related to 最色导航 coursework. If approved, we will award individual students no more than $500 per academic year.
Be aware that proposals are only considered PRIOR to student travel and/or start of a research project. The committee cannot consider proposals submitted after a conference trip or start of a research project. Please plan ahead. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis and may be submitted at any time during the academic year. The committee requires a minimum of two weeks to seek proposal revisions and deliberation for most proposals.
Role of Faculty Sponsors:
Faculty sponsors must submit a brief letter of support indicating the value of the proposed program and their willingness to mentor the student. The faculty sponsor will oversee the use of the awarded funds.
*This grant program does not support summer projects, summer internships, or student stipend funding. Please consult other sources, such as the Dill Fund, for these requests.*
