Dear Students in Math and Science,
I’m writing to make you aware of funding that is available to support student research in Math and Sciences during winter break:
Student Research at Another Institution: The Kolenkow-Reitz Fund provides student stipend and travel support for Carleton students working with non-Carleton science and math faculty at another institution during winter break. Awards fund student stipends ($450/week for full time work) for up to 3 weeks and can include expenses for travel to the research site and research supplies. No award will exceed $1500. Note that students must work full time in order to qualify. Carleton students are eligible to apply for this funding. Before applying, students should have already contacted and discussed the nature and timing of their project with the person they are planning to work as well as a faculty member at Carleton who can vouch for the project. Please note that previously funded students through the Kolenkow-Reitz Fund (winter break or summer) are less likely to get funded, but are still eligible to apply.
Application Deadline: 5 PM on Thursday, October 12, 2017
More details are available in the application form, which you can find here: https://apps.carleton.edu/mathscience/faculty/studentresearchaway/
Student Research at Carleton: The Towsley Endowment provides financial support for Carleton students working with Carleton science and math faculty on campus (or in the field) over winter break. Awards fund student stipends ($450/week for full time work) for up to 3 weeks during winter break and can include expenses for travel and research supplies. No award will exceed $1500. Note that students must work full time in order to qualify (i.e. they must not hold another job during the award period). Carleton faculty in science and math departments and programs are eligible to apply. These include Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Environmental Sciences, Geology, Math, Neuroscience, Physics and Astronomy, and Psychology.
Application Deadline: 5 PM on Thursday, October 12, 2017. Note: Carleton faculty members are eligible to apply for this funding. Students who are interested in doing research at Carleton should contact a faculty member.
