Undergraduate Assistantship Program deadline Feb. 7

The Undergraduate Assistantship Program involves students in projectbased collaboration with faculty and/or administrative staff in order to create significant experiential learning opportunities. These opportunities offer student collaborators skills and experiences that will prepare them to advance in their education or chosen professions, while also offering administrative staff and faculty the chance to work closely with student assistants.

Student Financial Planning provides a 2to1 match with department, program, or unit funds. A maximum of $1,100 is awarded per project (for proposals whose total assistantship budget is $1,650 or more).

Deadline: Feb. 7 (Submission to the Dean of Schools or Colleges, or to the Director of the Administrative Program)

February 17 (Proposals forwarded from Deans and Directors to the Office of the Associate Provost)
