<p class=MsoNormal>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. <span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>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): a conference presentation, an
exhibition of one’s creative work, completion of an undergraduate Honors thesis,
and/or a publication. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>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. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Interested individuals should submit a hard copy of their proposal,
