Student Grant Programs

UAR offers research grants to registered Stanford undergraduates. Grants support faculty-mentored research projects, and are typically used to pay for research/creative supplies, travel, and room and board/ Major Grant and Chappell Lougee Scholarship recipients may include a stipend within their budget if they are working full-time on their project over the Summer Quarter.

For the 2010-11 academic year, students have access to the following grant programs:

For current deadlines and program details, see http://studentgrants.stanford.edu.

The application for any student grant consists of:

  1. a student-authored project proposal, including a line-item budget
  2. a letter of support written by a qualified member of the Stanford faculty

UAR may also consult student transcripts as well as outside faculty reviewers. Proposals are judged on intellectual significance, rigor and feasibility of project design, and evidence of student preparedness. The program is competitive, and not all good proposals can be funded.

UAR provides advising support for students considering a research grant, including proposal writing and project design consultation and advice on administrative policies. Students can view sample proposals at the UAR office. For more information, see http://studentgrants.stanford.edu.
