If you are working with promising undergraduate students and need funding for projects or travel, the next URCA deadline is Friday, Nov. 7th. Applications for AYRA, RPG, and MAYS grants will be accepted on the 7th. For details about the various grants, application guidelines, application forms, and even sample successful grants, please see our website: www.cofc.edu/ur. The next deadline is January 23rd, 2009.
Also, please note that NOW is the time to plan your SURF grant for next summer. Applications are due Feb 6, 2009, so it is already time to begin the process. The awards are likely to be highly competitive this year, as the total number of awards will decrease slightly, and the amount of the award has increased this year (to $6500, with $3500 allocated for student salary, $2000 allocated for faculty stipend, and up to $1000 for project costs). See our website for SURF guidelines, or feel free to email me if you have questions.

Cindi May
