Undergraduate Mini Student-led Grant

The purpose of this grant is to provide a small amount of seed money for students to initiate their own research. With the support of a faculty mentor, students in all disciplines are eligible. Projects can receive funding up to $250. Funding may be used for: research materials/supplies, incentives for research subject’s participation, special training fees and/or software licenses.

Eligibility: Any undergraduate student conducting an independent research project in any discipline is eligible. If the application is submitted by a group, name each person in the group.  Undergraduate students must be registered at least half time during the academic year (6 or more credits fall semester/6 or more credits winter semester). Students currently funded by a UGRP student-led grant, or who have previously received a mini student-led grant are ineligible.

Once submitted, your proposal will be evaluated by faculty mentor (designated by applicant), department chair (coinciding with applicant’s major), and UGRP review committee.
