The Texas A&M University-Commerce Undergraduate Grant Program offers
support for research and creative activities.  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.   Funding of up to $500 is available
per application.

 

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.  The body of
the proposal should be no longer than 5 pages (this limit does not
include references, abstracts, or appendices).  All proposals need to
include sections on expected outcomes and fund utilization.   Expected
outcomes include (but are not limited to): a conference presentation, an
exhibition of one's creative work, completion of an undergraduate Honors
thesis, 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 Honors
College office by Friday February 25th.  




 

Undergraduate Travel Grant Competition

 

The Texas A&M University-Commerce Undergraduate Travel Grant Program
provides funding for undergraduate students presenting their research at
a conference.  The Undergraduate Travel Grant Program is sponsored by
the Provost for Academic Affairs and the Vice-President for Student
Access and Success. 

 

These funds can only be used for travel to an academic conference at
which a student is presenting their work.  Verification of the
applicant's role (for example, a formal acceptance letter; the relevant
page of conference program) must be documented. If the applicant has not
received confirmation, an explanation must be provided. All awards, even
if approved by the committee, will not be granted or paid until a
confirmation document is received.  

 

Grants are competitive and are awarded based upon availability of
funding.  Grant awards are application specific and can not be
transferred from one event/location to another without prior approval of
the Office of the Provost.

 

To apply, students must submit a completed application form and
verification of their work's acceptance at the conference/professional
proceedings.  The application form is not complete without their
advisor's signature.

 

Interested individuals should submit a hard copy of their application to
the Honors College office by Friday February 25th.
