TU Undergraduate Research Funding Programs

Application for February Deadline 2008 Now Available! Click here to download.
The Undergraduate Research Committee has three programs for supporting undergraduate research, as described below:

Research Grants:
Supply and expense grants of up to $500 per project are awarded to Towson University undergraduate students engaged in scholarly research activities under the mentorship of Towson University faculty members. Research funds may be used for supplies, books, software, equipment and travel as appropriate to the project. Projects may be carried out over one or two semesters and involve close collaboration of the student and faculty member.

Travel Grants
The travel grant program allows students to apply for up to $500 from the Towson Undergraduate Research Committee to attend a professional meeting at which the student will be the primary presenter of an oral seminar or a research poster. Requests larger than $500 will be considered provided the application provides well-documented need for the additional funds.

Small Project Grants
These Grants award up to $100 for smaller projects. Funds may be used for supplies, books, software, equipment, fees, etc as appropriate to the project.



Application
Fall application deadline for Research Stipends and Grants and Travel Grants is September 21st. Small Project Awards have no set deadline, but the committee will start reviewing applications on a rolling basis starting September 21st.


Guidelines and Application Form for all three programs may be downloaded here.

There will be one deadline for Research Grants each semester and two deadlines for Travel Grants. The deadline for Research Grants and the first Travel Grant Deadline will be announced soon. We hope to let applicants know the status of their requests within one week of each deadline. Small Project Award proposals are accepted on a rolling basis.
