Undergraduate Grant Competition

 

The Texas A&M University-Commerce Undergraduate Grant Program offers
support for research and creative activities.  Award amounts range from
$100 to $500.  The Undergraduate Grant Program is sponsored by the
Provost for Academic Affairs and the Vice-President for Student Access
and Success. Its primary purpose is to assist undergraduate students who
may require funding as they pursue research or creative activities.   

 

Funds can be used for the purchase of equipment, software licenses,
printing, postage, data searches, and data collection.  These funds can
not be used to pay student wages or for travel.  

 

To apply, students must submit a proposal that includes the methodology
to be used, expected outcomes, and funding requirements.  It is
acceptable for students to submit an Honors Thesis proposal for this
purpose (although proposals should be no longer than 10 pages).  Please
note: It is not a requirement that the proposed research be attached to
an Honors Thesis.  All proposals need to include sections on expected
outcomes and fund utilization.   Expected outcomes include (but are not
limited to): completion of an undergraduate Honors thesis, a conference
presentation, an exhibition of one's creative work, and/or a
publication.  

 

The proposal must be readable and well-organized, and give sufficient
details about what the project intends to accomplish, procedures for
accomplishing the goal(s), clear statement of rationale for these
procedures, realistic budget information, and clear time lines for
completing the project. The proposed project should demonstrate
intellectual merit, and contribute to artistic, or scholarly, or
literary creativity. 

 

 

Interested individuals should submit a hard copy of their proposal, and
an application form including signature of faculty advisor to the Office
of the Provost by February 26th.  In addition, an electronic copy of the
grant request should be sent to Dr. Ray Green
(Raymond_green at tamu-commerce.edu).  For the electronic application,
contact Dr. Ray Green.
