Kolenkow/Reitz Fund for Undergraduate Research
Students interested in doing summer or winter-break scientific research at other institutions should be aware of Carleton’s new Robert J. Kolenkow and Robert A. Reitz Fund for Undergraduate Research. Created by a donor, and honoring Carleton former physics professors Kolenkow and Reitz, the fund will support student research at other institutions. At least three students in the natural sciences and mathematics will be supported in 2008, with each student receiving funds not to exceed a typical summer research stipend at Carleton ($420 per week, for no more than 10 weeks). Funding is available to Carleton international students. Support could take the form of a stipend, travel funds, housing, etc., and it could be used to supplement financial support offered by a sponsor at another institution if the student demonstrates that the sponsor’s contribution is insufficient. If interested, submit an application by February 14, identifying a sponsor at another institution, a brief description of research plans and your specific role, and a budget paragraph justifying requested funds. Decisions about funding will be made by April 1st. More information about the Robert J. Kolenkow and Robert A. Reitz Fund and the online application form may be found at: http://serc.carleton.edu/cismi/KolenkowReitz.html.
