Funding for Undergraduate Student Conference Travel and Research

Undergraduate students from all disciplines can make use of undergraduate student research funding opportunities through the Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons. These awards support student-driven, independent, original research projects under the guidance of a Seattle University faculty member. There are awards to conduct research, as well as conference travel awards to give a presentation.

Conference travel awards

• Conference travel awards support Seattle University undergraduate students who have been accepted to present at a professional or scholarly meeting or event (e.g., academic conference, film festival, dance convention, etc.). 

• Students can receive up to $1,500 for conference travel expenses, including registration, airfare, hotel, ground transportation (ride services or mileage), and meals.

Dean’s research awards

• The Dean's Research Awards are awarded for both large-scale and small-scale research projects. Both research awards are to support student-driven, independent, original research projects under the guidance of a Seattle University faculty member.

• Large-scale research awards support research over the summer with a $6,000 stipend. The small-scale research grant stipend is $1,500.
