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.
