Point your undergrads to these collaborative research scholarships

Please bring the following scholarships to the attention of qualified undergraduate students.

HILLDALE UNDERGRADUATE/FACULTY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS AND HOLSTROM ENVIRONMENTAL SCHOLARSHIPS provide support for collaborative research between undergraduate students and faculty or research/instructional academic staff members.  Each provides a grant of $3,000 to the student and $500 to the faculty/staff mentor (up to $1,000 under exceptional circumstances) to help offset research costs.  Students must have at least junior standing at the time of application. The Holstrom Scholarships require an environmental focus. We’re pleased to announce this year the McPherson Eye Research Institute will sponsor one additional Hilldale Fellowship for vision based research (including bioengineering, imaging, data visualization, ophthalmology and general biology of the eye). The application deadline is February 17, 2014.  Details here.
