Luther Rice Undergraduate Research Fellowships are part of the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences comprehensive undergraduate initiative to promote discovery- and inquiry-based education throughout the undergraduate experience at GW. Luther Rice Fellowships offer support for student research carried out in collaboration with, and under the guidance of, at least one faculty mentor.
These fellowships offer substantial support for the promotion of working research alliances between students and faculty. The fellowships typically provide $3,000-$5,000 to the student for research-related expenditures, including summer living expenses, travel, materials and equipment. The faculty mentor receives up to $1,000 for salary or professional development.
