Student/Faculty Collaborative Research awards announced
With the semester over, UW Oshkosh students are enjoying a summer of sun, fun—and research.
Sixteen undergraduate and graduate students have been awarded Student/Faculty Collaborative Research Program grants for summer 2009. Another three undergraduates were awarded 2009-2010 academic year grants.
Graduate students receive $3,000 stipends plus $500 for supplies/expenses, while undergraduate students receive $2,500 plus $500 for supplies/expenses.
