We invite students who are conducting research or attending academic conferences to apply for financial support from the Dean’s Office. Qualifying projects include:
- Faculty-supervised research.
- Research in association with a class.
- Attendance at / participation in an academic conference.
Grants up to $850 are available to cover costs associated with travel to present research at a conference. Attendance at a professional or research conference, when endorsed by a faculty sponsor, will also be considered.
Grants up to $600 are available to cover costs associated with conducting research (including generating data through surveys, interviews, projects that involve subject payments, travel to archives, etc.).
To apply
- Complete and submit the application below.
- Have a faculty sponsor send an endorsement of the project / research / travel request to Dean Richard Fox at richard.fox@lmu.edu.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. Priority will be given to those students who have not previously received funding during the current academic year.
Once your conference trip and/or research project is complete, please notify Sheryle Bush (sheryle.bush@lmu.edu) in the BCLA Dean's Office (Suite 4600) with a brief description.
