Student Research Support
Jones College provides limited funding to help students conduct research and share their findings. Support may be requested for expenses directly related to a research project or for travel to present research at an academic conference.
Funding Availability
Funds are limited, and awards depend on available College resources. Support is intended to supplement other funding and may cover only part of the requested expenses.
Matching funds are expected. Applicants should seek support from their department, faculty mentor, applicable University programs, or external sources and identify those contributions in their request.
Request Support
Work with your faculty mentor to submit a request that includes:
- A brief description of the research and your role in the project
- An explanation of how the requested support will advance your research or help you share its findings
- An itemized budget and the amount requested from Jones College
- Other funding requested or secured, including the source and amount of matching funds
- A statement of support from your faculty mentor
- For conference travel, presentation acceptance documentation and the event dates and location
Submit your request before making purchases or traveling. Funding approval and any required University travel or purchasing approvals must be obtained before expenses are incurred. Submitting a request does not guarantee funding.
