Students apply for funding the term before the one in which they intend to engage in the research. Late applications are NOT accepted, and funding will not be awarded retroactively or for applications submitted in the same term as the research. If you have questions about the program or the application process, contact UGAR before the application deadline.
** Go to the UGAR application Canvas site for instructions and links to the application submission system.
Application checklist:
- Application form
- Research proposal and timeline
- Itemized budget and budget justification
- Recommendation form submitted by faculty research mentor
Additional notes:
- Grants are for expenses directly related to honors thesis research. Award amounts are based on the itemized budget and budget justification.
- If you are applying for expenses that will occur during the winter interim, you may either apply in the summer or in the fall. Award checks will not be available until 3-4 weeks after the application deadline, so be sure to plan accordingly.
- Consult with your faculty research advisor to determine whether your project needs to be reviewed by the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects. The review process can be lengthy so if there is any chance that your project will require review, submit your materials to CPHS as early as possible (on or before the UGAR deadline).
- If you are proposing any travel associated with your research, review the UGAR travel information and the College policies on travel, travel exceptions and the travel registry.
