Kellogg/Kroc Undergraduate Research Grants

The Kellogg and Kroc Institutes announce a Research Grants Program for undergraduate students at Notre Dame. The grants are intended for juniors whose interests include a clear international dimension preferably related to the Kellogg Institute's themes. Several grants of up to $4,000* each 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.

  • In exceptional, justifiable cases, the Kellogg Institute may increase this amount.

GrantsEligibility

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.)

Recipients will be expected to submit a report, approved by the supervising faculty, no later than September 1 of the award year.

  1. Democratization and the quality of democracy.

  2. Growth and development.

  3. Religion and Society.

  4. Social movements and organized civil society.

  5. Public policies for social justice.
