Project Costs going up?? We can help!
Look to the Aspire Internal Grants Program as a funding resource for your thesis, dissertation, or senior project needs! NEW higher funding limits available to undergraduates presenting at a conference or exhibition.
The University Research and Creative Arts Committees would like to encourage students to apply for an Aspire Graduate or Undergraduate student grant. Funds can be used to cover project costs such as travel and supplies. Please note: All student projects require the support of a faculty mentor or advisor. See guidelines for more information.
