The Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences is pleased to announce the availability of research scholarships to recognize exceptional promise in undergraduate research in the arts and sciences. These scholarships, provided through the generosity of donors, are awarded by the Weinberg College Committee on Superior Students and Honors to those Weinberg College students who, in the judgment of the Committee, best demonstrate promise of distinguished research in their major.
All scholarship applications require
- a statement from the student explaining the research project to be undertaken, the significance of the research in the field, the student's preparation for undertaking the project, and the methodology to be followed,
- a recommendation from the faculty member who will supervise the research,
- a recommendation from a second faculty member not involved with the research.
KATHERINE L. KRIEGBAUM SCHOLARSHIPS
These scholarships, with no restriction as to field of study, are given as research accounts to rising Weinberg College seniors. Kriegbaum Scholars must be registered for at least a quarter of 399 (Independent Study) or 398 during the time of the research project.
In addition to the materials noted above, applications should include a proposed budget explaining the necessity for, and probable use of, the stipend.
Departments and programs that offer an undergraduate major may nominate at most two junior candidates for these awards. Departmentally endorsed nominations should be sent to Associate Dean Mary E. Finn, 1922 Sheridan Road, Ev 4030 by April 18, 2008. Announcement of the awards will be made by the Dean before the end of the academic year. Research funds can be made available to Kriegbaum Scholars as early as the summer before the senior year.
