Here's a reminder that Thursday, Jan. 31 is the deadline for proposals for the Internal Education Foundation in two categories: student-initiated research projects and educationally innovative proposals. Application forms for both are available in Science & Engineering, S-100 or on the Web at http://www.union.edu/Academics/AcademicAffairs.
In addition, the Faculty Research Fund Committee is seeking proposals for faculty scholarship activities, also by Jan. 31. Check the Web site for more information and to access forms.
Thursday, Feb. 7 (by 4 p.m.) is the proposal deadline for the Union College Summer Research Fellowships, designed to give strong students the opportunity to pursue a subject in depth over the summer, under the guidance of faculty members. Each student applicant must have a faculty sponsor.
"The range of supported activities is broad, including bibliographic work, field surveys and laboratory research," said Mary Carroll, director of Undergraduate Research. "This summer we should be able to fund more than 50 students, and we anticipate a very competitive application process."
For summer 2008, the College will offer full- and half-fellowships and also fund several Summer Scholars, sophomore and first-year students in the Union Scholars programs.
Detailed information is available in S&E, S-100 and on the Web at: http://www.union.edu/undergrad_research/summer/. Direct all questions to Carroll at carrollm@union.edu.
