Conferences and Research Funding
The Clarke Honors College is happy to support undergraduate research and creative projects in their many forms, whether it be travel to academic conferences, laboratory research, creative writing workshops, fine art exhibitions, symposia, or more.
Honors students are encouraged to apply for funding through the Clarke Honors College. The College sets aside more than $10,000 in annual funds to aid students in their work. Priority is given to students presenting their work at honors conference or for the funding of projects that have emerged from Honors classes or are the product of honors thesis work.
The Clarke Honors College asks that students who request funding to attend a conference outside of the honors conferences or to aid in work that is not the direct product of and honors class or honors thesis project also apply for funding from other sources on campus. The Clarke Honors College is happy to supplement these sources of funding but cannot guarantee funding for non-honors related projects and conference travel.
Funding of Undergraduate Conference Attendance and Presentation
The CHC typically supports the attendance of students and faculty at three honors conferences: Maryland Collegiate Honors Council, Northeast Region Honors Council, and National Collegiate Honors Council. Preference is given to those with accepted conference presentations.
Application instructions and forms can be found in the CHC MyClasses.
