University of Massachusetts Lowell Honors
Program
Undergraduate Professional Development Grants
Description
The University of Massachusetts Lowell Honors Program has received
funding from the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education to support
undergraduate student participation in professional activities, such as
travel to professional society conferences. The Honors Program will
award approximately ten grants of up to $500 to UML undergraduate
students for professional development activities. Students need not be
enrolled in the Honors Program to apply, but preference will be given to
Honors Program students. Preference will also be given to students
seeking funding for an activity related to a research project. The
Board of Higher Education has stipulated that funds must be expended by
June 30. We cannot give advances for travel expenses; we can only make
reimbursements. We need original receipts for travel
reimbursements.
Please call Veronica Gadbois at 978-934-2921 if you have any questions.
