Program Overview

Student Research opportunities funded internally by Norwich University include support for students to present papers at professional meetings, support for expenses associated with original research, scholarship or creative work projects, and summer research fellowships.

The Student Research Committee is pleased to announce continuation of our Summer Research Fellowship Program made possible by the Chase Endowment for Academic Excellence and the Weintz Research Scholars Program.

This program will fund two types of faculty-student research teams:

• Faculty-Student Research Fellowships include a Faculty Fellow and a Student Fellow who apply with coordinated separate proposals to work full time during the summer on tightly related research projects. Stipends for those 10-week projects will be $8,000 for faculty and $4,000 for students.
• Student Research Fellowships with a Faculty Research Mentor are applied for by a single proposal prepared by the student, with guidance from the mentor, to carry out a 10-week research project. These fellowships provide a $4,000 stipend for the student and a $1,000 stipend for the mentor.

The fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis to support research, creative or scholarly projects, but not for work leading to completion of the student’s degree. The application deadline is Feb. 15, 2008.

Coming near the end of each spring semester is the “Student Scholarship Celebration” during which student research will be featured in Academic School areas. Projects will then be collected for display at a University-wide a reception at which the names and projects for the 2008 Fellows will be announced.

Feel free to contact your representative on the Student Research Committee if you have questions about this program.
