The URC Graduate Student Stipend and Research Cost Program for Faculty-Student Collaboration advances high-potential research, scholarship, and creative work following the Teacher-Scholar model of graduate education while providing summer stipend support
to outstanding graduate students, as well as funds to support related research costs.
Awards were given in the following areas: Arts & Humanities, Behavioral & Social Sciences, Life Sciences, and Physical Sciences & Engineering. The total award includes up to $6,500 for stipend support and up to $1,000 for research costs payable
