Research and Creative project support grants are available for projects to be presented at the 2012 Undergraduate Research Center (URC) at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
The three types of funding opportunities are outlined below. Students may apply for all three types of grants; however, only one grant will be awarded per project. Scholarships are competitive and based upon specific criteria.
A Foundation grant is a $1000 stipend and up to $1000 for supplies. Stipends are issued once in the fall and once in the spring ($500 each) contingent upon presentation at the URC. These grants are funded by the MSU Foundation. Foundation Grant Awardees are encouraged to report back to the Foundation upon completion of the project with a summary of his/her experience participating in the research process and the URC.
A NorthStar STEM Alliance Award is a $1000 stipend and up to $300 for supplies. These awards are available to students from underrepresented ethnicities enrolled in specific STEM discipline majors.
