Are you working on your Capstone?
The Honors College welcomes grant applications to support research and creative work, specifically to support the cost of materials and related travel. On average students typically receive between $1000 to $2000 in support to cover approved, reimbursable expenses related to the capstone project. Where justifiable some support awards might exceed that average amount. Grant applications must be submitted on an individual (per student) basis, even if the project is a collaboration with other students.
