CSURF announces:
The 2010-2011 Paul E. Hosier Undergraduate Research and Creativity Fellowship Competition ************************************************** Aim of the Research Fellowship Competition: The Center for the Support of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (CSURF) invites applications for the Undergraduate Research Fellowships for the 2010-11 academic year. The competition's aim is to stimulate original research among undergraduate students at UNCW. The competition is open to any rising junior or senior in any department and in any major who has completed at least one semester at UNCW. In addition, the proposed project should be able to be completed by the end of the 2010-11 academic year. Each student must have a faculty sponsor who serves as an advisor and assists in selecting a project suitable to the student's abilities and the timing of the awards. The project idea may originate with the student or advisor but must be developed to a substantial degree by the student. Course credit may be arranged through a Directed Individual Study or through the Honors Program. If the proposed research involves human or animal subjects, research approval must be obtained through appropriate ethics review procedures prior to the release of the award funds. Award Amount: Fellowship awards consist of a partial tuition waiver in the amount of up to $1000. Acceptance of the award (i.e., the tuition waiver) may affect other financial aid eligibility. It is the responsibility of each applicant to consult with the Office of Financial Aid in order to determine what implications, if any, a fellowship or travel award will have on their financial aid or other scholarships.
