Summer Time Academic Research (STAR) Award

The STAR Awards (Summer Time Academic Research) program is a competitive, early-career program through which Human Ecology graduate students engage in mentored research or scholarly creative projects during the summer. The award provides up to $2,500 and is designed to enable the student to: (a) engage in innovative research/creative scholarship-related learning that enriches and informs their scholarly portfolio; and (b) be mentored by a SoHE faculty member or an expert outside the School (approved by Dept. Chair).

Note: Students applying for the Dissertation, MS Thesis, MFA Project Awards are not eligible to apply for a STAR Award. Priority will be given to students who have not yet received STAR award support.
