Credit & Preparation

While participation in an Howes Summer Grant funded independent study project does not earn any academic credit, these projects are an opportunity to explore an area of scholarly, artistic or creative special interest. This activity can benefit a senior project or allow a student to collaborate with a faculty member on his or her ongoing scholarly, artistic or creative work.

To receive the Howes Summer Grant, which is awarded as a check made payable to the student, students are required to:

Submit application by deadline
Receive a project advisor's endorsement of the project
Be selected by a faculty committee to receive the award
Submit all required forms and documents
Complete mandatory orientation

Upon receipt of all required materials and participation in mandatory orientation students will be able to receive the funding.
