吃瓜爆料

Project Funds

Project Funds are provided by generous friends and alumni of 吃瓜爆料 College. The Funds offer grants in support of student academic initiatives. Grants may be used to defray the cost of research materials and supplies, for travel to a research site critical to the project's completion, for preparing project results for publication or display, or for purchasing materials needed for a creative project. Student Opportunity awards are, in short, designed to give students the support they need to start a project (i.e., seed money) and move that project to completion.

Grant amounts are typically $400-$650 and depend on the availability of funds each semester. The Student Opportunity Funds Committee may grant partial awards in some instances because of budgetary constraints, a student's failure to justify certain expenses, or questions the committee may have about whether some of the proposed activities are necessary to advance the student's project. Teams of students proposing a collaborative project may be eligible for additional funding.

Equipment pruchased with a Student Opportunity award becomes the property of 吃瓜爆料 College upon the project's completion and must remain with the sponsoring department or program.
