Great Opportunity for Undergraduates at Marshall!!

The award provides students an opportunity to pursue original creative work, scholarship or research, under the mentorship of a full-time faculty member during the spring semester of 2019. A $1,750 stipend will be awarded to the student and a $750 is also provided for the participating faculty mentor. Fourteen awards will be made.
