UVM Internal Funding Opportunities:
Below students will find information about the requirements and eligibility for specific grant applications. FOUR grants are considered "internal" awards meaning the money is coming from UVM and its affiliates. For external awards such as the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF-REUs), please refer to the Fellowships side of the office as they are nationally-competitive awards. All FOUR-funded research must have UVM faculty sponsorship, but need not take place directly under a UVM faculty member or even at UVM. Students must adhere to University Research Ethics and Policies.
We offer funding for the following:
- Mini Grants -small amounts of funding for research expenses (rolling applications until funds are depleated);
- Travel/Presentation Awards -will help cover the expenses associated with presenting or performing your work at conferences and competitions;
- Summer awards -funds will cover a personal stipend for you and may have money for your research expenses. Make your research and scholarship your summer job!
