[Plsugs] Summer research grants available - up to $1,500

[Tanya Quist]

The Honors College is now accepting applications for our summer 2014
Undergraduate Research Grant program.  These grants  are available to both
Honors and non-Honors students.  We're planning to provide grants of up to
$1,500 to over 30 students this summer, in order to support them in their
individualized research endeavors.  Students in any major are eligible to
apply, but they must be graduating in May 2015 or later in order to qualify.

 

If you know of any students who may be interesting in engaging in summer
research, please let them know about this grant.  The application is
available at
http://www.honors.arizona.edu/students/undergraduate-research-grants , and
will be due January 29th.

 

Thanks for sharing this information with your students.  I've included a
list of last year's Undergraduate Research Projects at the bottom of this
message so you can see the variety of projects students have undertaken.
Feel free to refer students to me if they have any questions.

 

Thanks!
