Faculty should submit their fellowship proposals by Feb. 27 for full consideration.
The Honors College will be hosting a networking event Wednesday, April 1, from 5-7 p.m. for faculty mentors to discuss their proposals with honors students. This will occur virtually on Zoom.
The Honors College Fellowship Program matches faculty to work directly with honors students, with the students receiving funding from the Honors College. Qualified honors students will receive a stipend of $1,500 for 75 hours of focused effort (one semester) or $3,000 for 150 hours of focused effort (two semesters).
On your proposal, please list whether this will be a one-semester or two-semester project.
Students can also use this fellowship as an Honors Experiential Learning Opportunity, which will satisfy either an H4, H5, or H6 honors requirement.
We will begin approving faculty-student applications at the end of April, with the funds being applied to the students' Fall 2026 bill.
Note: All Fellowships must have a critical reading component and conclude with a 15-minute in-person student presentation. It is important that the project offers a meaningful opportunity to the student to engage in research or creative work with the faculty mentor.
