[Students] Spring 2014 Undergraduate Grant Programs

[Lisa Martinez]

Greetings and welcome to a new semester.  I wanted to share with you
some information concerning the Spring 2014 Undergraduate Grant
Programs.  The Texas A&M University-Commerce Undergraduate Grant Program
offers support for research and creative activities.  This competitive
program is sponsored by the President's Office, the Provost for Academic
Affairs, the Vice-President for Student Access and Success, and the Vice
Provost for Research and Dean of Graduate Studies. 

The grant competition is held once each semester (typically toward the
beginning of the term).  Two separate competitions are held: (1) The
Undergraduate Research Grant Competition and (2) The Undergraduate
Travel Grant Competition.

The Undergraduate Research Grant Competition is held to assist
undergraduate students who may require funding as they pursue research
or creative activities. Proposed funds can be used for the purchase of
equipment, software licenses, printing, postage, data searches, and data
collection.  Students may request a maximum of $500.  These funds can
not be used to pay student wages or for travel.  Funds must be used by
July 1, 2014 and processed by August 27, 2014.

The Undergraduate Travel Grant Program provides funding for
undergraduate students presenting their research at a conference.
Proposed 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.  Funds must be used during by July 1,
2014 and processed by August 27, 2014.
