2008-2009 Research Scholar Fellowship Applications Are Now Being Accepted.
With support from the Office of the Provost, URSA is pleased to make Research Scholar Fellowships available in the 2008-2009 academic year. To be eligible for one of the awards, a student must be enrolled as a full-time MSU undergraduate. The project must have a faculty mentor and should be completed during the upcoming academic year, although work on the project may continue into the summer of 2009. Each fellowship carries a student stipend of $2000, paid out as work on the project progresses. Each fellowship also has an expense budget of $500 and a faculty stipend of $500. Should additional funds be needed for supplies, travel, etc., additional support can be sought through the URSA grants program.
