While award funds are largely unrestricted, they are intended to support capstone projects directly. Expected expenditures include, but are not limited to: travel, materials, photocopying, and equipment.<\/p>\n

Please note that the Faculty Senate Research Committee (FSRC) has\u00a0 updated the guidelines and other criteria for the student Research Scholars Award. Be sure to carefully read the updated version of the guidelines prior to submitting your application.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Award and Disbursement:<\/strong>
\nIndividual students working on their capstone projects are eligible to receive up to $250 per academic year. Groups of students who are working on the same capstone project could be eligible to collectively receive the maximum amount per group (up to $250). For example, if there are five students in the group, they will each receive $50.
\nThese funds are limited, and students may only apply one time a year. Applicants can request up to $250 in funding; however, the number of eligible applicants, amounts requested, and available funding budget could impact the final amount awarded.<\/p>\n

Eligibility of Applicant:<\/strong>
\nStudents must be completing their capstone projects in the semester for which they are applying. Funding may not be \u201cheld\u201d until the next semester and must be used in the semester in which the student is completing their capstone.<\/p>\n

Eligible Activities:<\/strong>
\nWhile award funds are largely unrestricted, they are intended to support capstone projects directly. Expected expenditures include, but are not limited to: travel, materials, photocopying, and equipment.<\/p>\n

Deadlines:<\/strong>
\nStudents can apply at any time prior the October 1st and April 1st deadlines; however, funding will only be awarded in the semester and year in which the student\/groups of students are completing their capstone project. Applications for funding received after the due date for the semester in which the applicant is completing their capstone will not be reviewed or considered for funding. Recipients are reimbursed for their expenses after the activity is completed and applicants who fail to seek reimbursement within three months (90 days) of the start date of the activity will lose their funding and be ineligible for another award during that academic year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Assistance and Confirmation:<\/strong>
\nIf you experience trouble submitting this application, please remove all commas from currency values. For example, instead of entering 2,000, enter 2000. Also, please leave out dollar signs. The form will not accept these types of figures\/punctuation. You will receive a confirmation email once your application is successfully submitted. If you did not receive email confirmation, please try resubmitting your application. Please contact us at senate@marshall.edu or 304-696-4376, prior to the application deadline, if you experience any problems with your submission.<\/p>\n
