Faculty-Mentored Student Research Fellowship
The Research Community in International Trade and Exchange (RCITE) seeks to promote research, education, and discussion of the complex issues surrounding international trade. As part of these efforts, RCITE is announcing a fellowship for faculty-mentored student research. Enhancing students’ scholarly activity is the primary priority for this award, whether faculty apply to involve their students in their own work or to support independent student projects. This fellowship will award $5,000 to encourage and support student academic work - $3,500 to the student(s) and $1,500 for a faculty mentor stipend.
