Poster
One of the special benefits of a large research university is the
opportunity it provides undergraduates to study in a wide variety
of disciplines and to work under the personal supervision of nationally
recognized scholars. As a means of promoting such educational experiences
for students, the Office of Undergraduate Studies offers Research
and Creativity Grants during the summer term. The grants, amounting up
to $2000.00, are intended to take advantage of the rich resources
available through the libraries, the laboratories and, most especially,
the academic personnel at the University of Kentucky. Undergraduates
in all areas of intellectual inquiry are eligible, and students
at many different levels of matriculation have received support.
Both individual projects and joint ventures have been endorsed by
the selection committee which is particularly interested in funding
interdisciplinary efforts.
The grants can be used any way the recipient chooses. These monies
are awarded in two payments - one in mid June and the other in mid
July. Only students in good academic standing at the University
of Kentucky who are returning to the University as undergraduates
in the fall of 2009 are eligible for grants.
Academic credit is to be worked out with the advisor, but it is
not required for an award. Please be aware of the stipulations indicated
on the application forms, and remember that the faculty member's
recommendation and willingness to supervise the project are very
important elements in the selection process. Normally, only students
with at least a 3.0 GPA will be considered for an award. A report
on the project will be required of the student and a brief evaluation
by the faculty sponsor will also be required upon completion. During
the grant period, recipients will be expected to make periodic reports
on their progress.
