Students from all disciplines are eligible. Sophomore, juniors and seniors with a minimum GPA of 3.25 are encouraged to submit a proposal. Students must be enrolled for at least 12 hours during the semester in which the project is funded.

The award stipend will be $3,000 (subject to tax withholding) for the 秋天 or 春天 semesters, 和5美元,000 (subject to tax withholding) for the 夏天 semester.

The project could involve research, design, development, field study, creative work or performance. The project should require about 150 hours of the student's time (i.e., 10 hours per week) in one semester, and should be appropriate in scope such that the student can produce a research or other scholarly product (e.g. presentation, publication, exhibit, or performance) at the end of the award period. 在理想的情况下, the project should be initiated by the student, but faculty members may approach students about collaborative projects. If the project is related to faculty research or other 奖学金, the project should require that the student assume increasing responsibilities over the course of the semester. The award is not intended to support student laboratory assistants; it is intended that award recipients will be acting as principal investigator of an authentic research project under mentorship of their faculty advisor.

Students requesting personal support as part of the proposal budget must be eligible for campus employment.

A University committee composed of a representative from each college and appointed by the Provost will review the proposals and select the projects that will be funded under this program.

Student proposals should be written with minimal use of jargon. 教师 members should not co-author or "copropose." Mentors may provide editorial and content assistance for student proposals, but proposals must be primarily the work of student applicants. Mentors will have the opportunity for input and explanation in a separate letter of support. The project proposal should not exceed five single-spaced pages. The cover page, appendices and attachments are not included in this length restriction. A letter of support from the faculty mentor is to be submitted separately from the student application. The following format should be followed:

1. 封面页. 项目的名称, 学生的名字, 印尼, address, 电子邮件地址, 电话号码, and major should be centered on the page. The name, department, 电子邮件地址, and 电话号码 of the faculty mentor should also be listed. The date should be centered at the bottom of the page.
    
2. 项目描述. Provide a clear, exact statement of what the project is and why it is important. How will the project contribute to a particular field of study? Proposals should be written with a minimum of jargon, and such that they can be evaluated by faculty from other disciplines.
    
3. 方法. Provide a description of how the research question/problem is to be investigated. 包括哪些步骤? 将使用什么来源? Where relevant, please include a bibliography.
    
4. 结果. Provide a description of the anticipated outcomes associated with the project, e.g., a conference paper, report, journal article, exhibition, performance, or Senior Honors Thesis.
    
5. 预算. Include a short paragraph on how the project funds will be used. The student should be aware of the total cost of the project in broad terms: How much support is given by his or her department through the use of facilities? What part of the expenses will be covered by the award? How will the $3,000 award be spent? Provide justification if the student will use the funds for personal maintenance while working on the project. Up to $500 of the award may be used for faculty mentor stipend; if this is the case, it should be stated clearly in the proposal budget.
    
6. 项目的独立性. Present evidence that independent research or 奖学金 is involved. The project should not be lab assistant work, course work for a faculty member, 或者简单的技术任务. If the work involves an aspect of a larger faculty project, the faculty member should explain the student's role in her/his letter of support.
