Students enrolled in an honors program affiliated with the Honors Council of the Illinois Region (HCIR) are eligible to receive financial assistance for projects directly related to their honors study. The fund, established in 1994, assists students with projects which they might normally not undertake because of the expense involved. Selection of a research proposal for funding depends upon the intrinsic merit of the proposal and indication that the student will be successful in completing the research as proposed.
The funds are to be used to defray the cost of commodities (supplies), travel or services directly related to the undergraduate student research projects. Note: under most circumstances, funding of equipment (books, tape recorders, calculators, etc.) will not be provided.
Applications for funding must adhere to the guidelines and policies described below and on the proposal application form. Please review them carefully as the review committee will not consider applications which ignore the guidelines or fail to supply all requested information.
Applications should be submitted by
February 11, 2019 for funding during spring term of 2019. All applications should be submitted electronically to Dr. Marc Klingshirn at
capitalscholars@uis.edu or
mklin2@uis.edu. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
