Research Mentorships and Grants

Mentorships also allow students to assist faculty in research. Mentorships, however, are awarded on a competitive basis and students who receive a Mentorship are awarded a stipend rather than academic credit. Like URP, the Mentorship Program can provide excellent assistance to a faculty member’s research project. Although students are encouraged to locate a faculty member who is interested in becoming a Mentor, we also invite faculty members to recommend students to the Mentorship Program. The contractual procedure for Mentorships is similar to that of the URP.

Summer Research Grants

Summer research grants are for full-time research over the summer. The application process for summer grants takes place near the end of the spring semester.

Fall Research Mentorships

Mentorships are awards of $600 per semester, to support and encourage student work with individual faculty members. Application materials will be available in the spring semester.
