UW Undergraduate Research Awards

The Dean's office is pleased to once again designate funds to support the scholarly activities of our undergraduates.  Totaling about $25,000, these funds come from a combination of sources:  a private endowment along with revenue from donors who have attended UWAA and College partnership events, where net proceeds are designated to support the work of undergraduates.

You may nominate students for awards up to $2,000.  Award money may be used to cover all or partial expenses for equipment, special projects, research, or travel.  Awards will be given based on need and the overall quality of the project. Since these funds are limited, it is our hope that you will put forward the names of only the truly exceptional students in your department.  If you do send forward more than one name, please help us in making our decisions by including a ranking of all proposals.

Nominations should be sent to Assistant Dean Kevin Mihata (kmihata@uw.edu, Box 353765) by Friday, November 6, 2009.  In your nomination, please include the student’s one-page description of the project and a brief cover memo of support for funding from the department chair or director.

Sincerely,
Ana Mari
