This program provides students with an opportunity to pursue original</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">research, scholarship, or creative work under the mentorship of a full-time faculty</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">member. Open to juniors and seniors with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25, the</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">award provides a $1500 stipend for one semester. The award will be made in one of</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">two ways: 1) as payment to the student or 2) as a transfer of funds to the academic</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">department.</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">An important aspect of this program is that it places the student and a faculty member in</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">an apprentice/mentor relationship. After agreeing on a particular project, the faculty</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">member assists the student in submitting a proposal, supervise the student’s research</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">activity, and assist in the construction of the student’s the final research report. This</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">program can be used to support undergraduate honors thesis, senior, or supervised</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">research projects (or equivalent programs in the student’s major).</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <b><font face="\"Arial\"">ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS</font></b></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">Students from all disciplines are eligible. Juniors and seniors with a minimum GPA of</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">3.25 are encouraged to submit a proposal; students must be enrolled for at least 12</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">hours during the semester in which the project is funded.</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">The award stipend will be $1500 (subject to tax withholding) for one semester. The</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">project could involve research, design, development, field study, creative work or</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">performance. The project should require about 150 hours of the student's time (e.g., 10</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">hours per week) and be completed in one semester.</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">Ideally, the project should be initiated by the student, but faculty members may</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">approach students about collaborative projects. If the project is related to faculty</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">research, the project should require that the student assume increasing responsibilities</font></p> <p align="\"left\""> <font face="\"Arial\"">over the course of the semester. The award is not intended to be a substitute for work</font></p> <p> <font face="\"Arial\"">done by a student lab assistant.</font></p> <p> <font face="\"Arial\""><font face="\"Arial\""><a href="\">http://ww2.odu.edu/ao/honors/urp/StudentFunding.shtml</a></font></font></p>
