What kinds of support are available for students interested in conducting research at Wittenberg?
Wittenberg offers competitive grants to support student research both during the academic year and the summer. Students may apply to the Faculty Research Fund Board for equipment and materials grants in the amount of $250 for research being conducted during either the fall or spring semester. In addition, students are invited to compete for 12 summer research stipends awarded by the Faculty Research Fund Board early each spring semester. Students who are awarded one of these summer grants receive a $2100 stipend and $250 to be used for travel, materials, or equipment required to conduct the research project. In addition, some departments offer their own summer research awards to enhance the likelihood that their students have opportunities to conduct summer research at Wittenberg if it is desired.
