Kellogg/Kroc Undergraduate Research Grants
The Kellogg and Kroc Institutes announce a Research Grants Program for undergraduate students at Notre Dame during the summer. The grants are intended for juniors whose interests include a clear international dimension related to the Kellogg Institute's themes or the themes of the Kroc Institute. Several grants of up to $5,000 each (in exceptional, justifiable cases, the Kellogg Institute may increase this amount) will be awarded for research abroad or, if demonstrably appropriate, in the United States. Applicants are required to notify the Kellogg Institute of any funding received from another source. If duplicate funding is received, the Institute may adjust the award.
Eligibility
Students must be in their junior year of studies at Notre Dame and be in good academic standing. They must have the endorsement and pledge of supervision from a faculty member. Freshman and sophomores seeking to do research in Africa, Asia or Latin America should see Experiencing the World Fellowships. (EXCEPTION: Sophomores in the International Scholars Program may apply for a research grant through this program.)
NOTE - Students who are accepted for this award are required to attend an orientation on Wednesday, April 4 from 6:30 – 8:30pm at the Hesburgh Center for International Studies. Additional mandatory orientation dates will be provided at a later time. Alternative orientations will be provided for students who are currently abroad.
Recipients will be expected to submit a report no later than September 1 of the award year.
To apply for a grant, please go to our application page.
Acknowledgements
Any publication of the student's work resulting from this grant must include an appropriate acknowledgment of the Undergraduate Research Grants Program. Although no one form is required, we recommend the following:
