Purpose: To further the aims and objectives of undergraduate research at UNC Asheville. To increase the research skills of our students, to provide increased opportunity for learning, to encourage professional relationships between faculty and students, and to advance the body of knowledge in the researcher's chosen field.

Eligibility: Any currently enrolled UNC Asheville student is eligible to apply. Preference is given to full-time students.

Grant Award: Will provide your registration costs to the Big South Undergraduate Research Symposium on March 29, 2009 here at UNC Asheville.

The following criteria will be used to assess the proposals:

-The feasibility of successful completion of the research project.
-The opportunity for the student researcher to learn appropriate research techniques and methodology from the project.
-The degree to which the project complements the faculty research advisor's existing research program.
-The contribution the research makes to the field.
-The probability of the research resulting in a significant publication, exhibit, or performance.
-The completeness of the proposal and the extent to which it follows the guidelines specified on the application form.

Students who have been past recipients may reapply, however priority will be given to first-time applicants. Also, although faculty occasionally sponsor more than one student at a time, it may be necessary to limit the number of awards per faculty member in the interest of distributing funding as much as possible.

Students who receive awards are required to publish in the UNC Asheville Journal.
