grant Opportunities

The Pembroke Undergraduate Research and Creativity (PURC) Center is accepting requests for funding to support Faculty Mentored Student Scholarship/Creativity.  In addition to the Student Travel Funds for Research or Presentation of Results, which we have traditionally offered, we are initiating two new opportunities including Student Scholarship Support and Undergraduate Scholar Assistantships.

  1. Student Travel Funds (STF) are designed to help defray costs associated with travel for research, or to conferences, meetings, exhibits, or performances where the student’s extracurricular project is presented.  Support can include costs of travel, room, board, and registration.  The maximum request amount for STF is $500.  Requests are due by the 1st of each month, with award announcement by month’s end.  Proposals should be submitted mindful of this schedule.
  2. Funding through the Student Scholarship Support (S3) can be used to cover the cost of supplies or related expenses for extracurricular, faculty-mentored research/creative endeavors.  These funds cannot be used to cover the cost of class projects or assignments.  The maximum request amount for S3 is $500.  Requests are due by the 1st of each month, with award announcement by month’s end.
  3. Undergraduate Scholar Assistantships (USA) are offered each semester to support students working with faculty members on their scholarly projects.  Requests for these assistantships may include up to $1,200 ($10/hour, 10 hours/week, 12 weeks/semester) for student stipend (a maximum of $2,400/academic year) and up to $500 for research supplies or related expenses.  Requests for Spring Semester 2012 are due by January 12, 2012 (EXTENDED DEADLINE: January 20).

Qualifications for all PURC Center funding:

  1. Be enrolled as a degree-seeking undergraduate student at UNCP in good academic standing
  2. Have completed a minimum of 12 credits at UNCP by time of application
