STUDENT INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH GRANT
The Center for Global Studies supports international research and engagement (including
creative projects in the arts) for enrolled UW students. Grants are awarded for internationally
oriented research pursued under the supervision of UW faculty and conducted outside
the U.S. In rare cases, internationally engaged research may be pursued without travel.
Funding is made available by the generous support of donors to the Center for Global
Studies.
Award
International Research Grants cover acceptable and budgeted international research
activities up to $2,500. Graduate and undergraduate research projects will be considered.
Relevant Activities
- Research projects
- International internships with clear research activity and goals
- Conference participation, where research development is the primary goal
Requirements
- Applicants must be enrolled in a degree-granting UW undergraduate, graduate, or professional
program and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (on a 4.0 scale).

explaining how the proposed research project contributes to the advancement of the

research projects, and research extensions to study abroad opportunities.
