Water Scholars request for Student Proposals

Fall 2022 Request for Student Proposals:

The Water Resources Center (WRC) Water Scholars Committee is pleased to announce the Fall 2022 WRC Student Water Scholars Program Request for Proposals. Awards are expected to range from $500 – $2,000, though there is no limit to what can be requested. The committee anticipates the availability of $20,000 to support projects per academic year. This program provides funding to actively enrolled undergraduate and graduate students at ECU with a passion to pursue an independent research or creative activity related to water and the environment. Priority will be given to projects that provide a benefit to the broader ECU and North Carolina community through the project, such as:

Engaging people in environmental justice issues,
Helping to develop a new community field site,
Sharing data or building data sharing infrastructure,

Initiating or strengthening community partnerships,
Leading citizen science activities,
Organizing events or seminars that build student involvement,
Create and share stories about issues in the region (any media form)

The Water Scholars Program supports undergraduate and graduate students interested in seeking student-led, faculty-supervised creative, educational, and/or research activities. Each applicant must identify a faculty member who will serve as the project mentor.

Important Dates

The submission deadline for the request is 9 September 2022 at 11:59 PM.
Awards will be announced in late September.
