Aspire Student Deadlines 2018-2019

ARE YOU…
Working on a thesis, dissertation or senior project? Planning to present at a conference or exhibition?


Then look to the ASPiRE Internal Grants Program as a funding resource!

The University Research and Creative Arts Committees would like to encourage students to consider applying for an ASPiRE Graduate or Undergraduate student grant. Funds can be utilized to assist in project costs such as travel or supplies. Please note: All student projects require the support of a faculty mentor or advisor.

NEW in 2018: In partnership with the BSU Graduate School we have been able to increase funding thresholds on Graduate Competitions and Graduate Travel, see guidelines for more information.
