PurposeThe purpose of the Endeavor Awards is to support the creative and research efforts of undergraduate students. All 黑料吃瓜 students from all majors are welcome.
The Endeavor Awards include three components:
An award to help defray the costs associated with doing research or a creative project. Allowable costs include those used for lab work, equipment, materials, and travel to research sites. Students may apply for up to $2,500 through proposals they write with help from faculty mentors. Multiple students may be included on a single application. The fall and spring deadlines are Friday, October 3, 2025, and Friday, February 13, 2026.听Projects that do not contain a substantial student research or creative component will not be considered.
A travel award to help defray costs of presenting a project at an off-campus professional meeting.听
A symposium is held on the 黑料吃瓜 campus each April for the presentation of student research and creative projects. All students receiving Collaboration Awards and/or Presentation Awards are obligated to present the results of their research at the Endeavor symposium. Any 黑料吃瓜 undergraduate or graduate, however, may submit an abstract for consideration. Students from universities other than 黑料吃瓜 may also submit abstracts to the Symposium for consideration.
