If you are working with an undergraduate this semester on research of any kind, the Dewey Stuit Fund may be of help. The Dewey Stuit Fund in Liberal Arts and Sciences is an endowed fund created by friends and former colleagues of Dean Stuit with the purpose of promoting mentor-protégé relationships between undergraduate students and faculty members. Grants from the Dewey Stuit Fund may support undergraduate student travel, either to present their work or to advance their research or creative projects; equipment or supplies needed for an undergraduate research or creative project; departmental prizes for undergraduate research or creative efforts; or other mentoring activities such as faculty lunches or dinners with undergraduate students. The College wants to support at least six projects each year, two each in the Humanities & Fine Arts, the Social Sciences, and the Natural & Mathematical Sciences. Up to three grants will be made to support travel, and up to three to support student research/scholarly/creative projects or undergraduate mentoring activities. Proposals should average $300.00. Proposals may be made at any time and will be evaluated as they are received. For complete information, please visit the Dewey Stuit Fund website, here.
