Overview

Honors students have access to a range of awards, grants, scholarships, and funding opportunities intended to support their HITM projects. This resource outlines available opportunities, eligibility requirements, application procedures, and relevant deadlines.

These opportunities exist to help students expand the scope and visibility of their work while gaining experience with the professional processes of grant applications.
