• Kolenkow Reitz Fund for Undergraduate Research

    Students interested in doing winter-break scientific research at Carleton or other institutions should be aware of Carleton’s Robert J. Kolenkow and Robert A. Reitz Fund for Undergraduate Research. Created by a donor, and honoring Carleton former professors Kolenkow and Reitz, the fund supports student research. Up to ten students in the natural sciences and mathematics will be supported winter break 2009, with each student receiving funds not to exceed $1500. 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 Friday, October 16, identifying a sponsor at another institution or here at Carleton, a brief description of research plans with your specific role, and a budget paragraph justifying requested funds. Decisions about funding will be made by October 28. 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 .
