Fellowship Programs
The Office of the Provost, in conjunction with the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) supports four fellowship programs. These competitive fellowships are designed to enhance the educational experience of students by engaging them in mentored research with faculty and/or graduate students. Some benefits of fellowships are easily quantifiable; however, others are not easy to quantify but just as valuable. While all of the fellowships provide a stipend to the student, these fellowships offer many opportunities for students to develop their academic and professional interests.
The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) provides travels grants to support students in their research endeavors for conference presentations. We will support student attendance of both virtual and face-to-face conferences.
It is important that applications for student conference registration are submitted in a timely manner. Please submit all documentation at least 30 days before the date of the conference.
