The Helen Hardin Honors College will provide funding for a summer research fellowship
program to promote research and creative scholarly activity among honors students.
The purpose of the program
is to provide honors students with the time, financial support and faculty mentoring
to pursue meaningful research and creative projects in the summer.
Up to 15 stipends at $3,000 each will be awarded to support honors students who will
work with a full-time UofM faculty member this summer. Students will also receive
an allowance of $1,000 for consumable
supplies to be used in direct support of the research project.
Students are responsible for seeking a faculty member to guide the project or a faculty
member can suggest a project to a student. As part of the program, the faculty member
