UNC Student Organization for Undergraduate Literature

We want to tell you about the small grants that one undergraduate in your department received during the 2006-07 academic year and ask you to inform other undergraduates in your department of these opportunities. The Office for Undergraduate Research (OUR) offers small grants as partial funding to support undergraduates who are presenting their research at professional conferences (Undergraduate Travel Awards), or who need essential supplies to go forward with a feasible research project (Undergraduate Research Support). Following is the name of the student in your department who received funding, their faculty mentor, the title of their project, and the nature of the award:

Student: Madeline Walter
Faculty mentor: McKay Coble, Dramatic Art
Project title: Exploring Character and the Creative Process through the Intersection of Performance and Fiction
Type of funding received: Research supplies - Printing of short story for distribution to play audience members for online comparative survey

Please encourage the undergraduates in your department who are engaged in their own research to be aware of these Undergraduate Travel Awards and Undergraduate Research Support grants. For more information and an application for these grants, please visit http://www.unc.edu/depts/our/undergrad_travel.html for the Travel Awards and/or http://www.unc.edu/depts/our/undergrad_research.html for the Research Support grants. Applications received by the 15th of the month are reviewed by the end of that month. Thank you
