SUMMER RESEARCH GRANT PROGRAM
The Summer Research Grant program was implemented in 1994. The
program assumes a 10-week summer research partnership with a
faculty mentor and student researcher. Six student-faculty
partnerships are funded each summer. The Faculty Development
Committee directs the summer research grant application and
approval process.
Students interested in participating in the summer research grant
program should connect with a faculty member in their field of
interest to develop a project proposal. Contact the Office of
Special Programs (researchproject@wingate.edu) if you have an
interest and need assistance connecting with a faculty mentor.
Faculty members submit proposals in the fall and the committee
awards grants in January. Key components of the application will
include:
Students participating
in the summer program receive a stipend of $2,500 plus a housing
allowance to live on-campus during the research period. Students
may also apply to receive travel to present their research results
at professional meetings and conferences.
