To be considered for funding, you must be in good standing as an active member of the Honors College. If you have questions, please contact the Honors College.

If you are part of a specific Honors Scholarship program, you can request the amount your scholarship program has available to you. These programs include: Stamps, Brazeal, Cherng / Show-Me, or Cherng Summer Scholars. Email the Scholarship and Research Coordinator outlining the amount of money you are requesting as well as a link to the experience will be using it for.

Funds are available for Honors College students to attend academic, professional and/or research conferences. These can be local, national, or international. We will prioritize applications that are submitted by students that are presenting at conferences.
