- Subsistence of $600 to help with food costs
- Travel to/from Norman (up to $600) and travel to a National Conference (up to $1,500)
- Housing in on-campus apartments
Eligibility:
Applicants must be pursuing an undergraduate degree, graduating no sooner than December 2021*, and be U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents of the U.S.
*Students who are graduating from a 2-year degree program are eligible so long as they are moving to a 4-year degree program in the fall after their summer participation.
Program details:
The 2021 program will run from May 24 – July 31*. If the program is in-person, travel days will be Sunday, May 23, and Friday, July 30.
- You receive a stipend: $6,000. These funds are distributed at the end of May, June, July, in proportion to how many weeks of the program occurred in that month. These funds are considered a scholarship / fellowship and could be taxable, depending on your overall tax situation.
- You also receive some subsistence: $600. This helps with food costs in first month.
- Travel to/from Norman: up to $600.
- National Conference Travel: up to $1,500.
- We provide housing: in modern, furnished campus apartments, usually Traditions Square. In that complex each student has a private, locking bedroom and their own sink in 4bed/2bath apartments. Other housing options are available when needed. Costs for certain situations could fall to the participant, such as costs related to housing for family members, because that is outside the scope of our funding.
- If the program is virtual, some funds from travel and housing will be provided to each student to help support their remote participation.
We will gather the project descriptions and put them online here: Project Proposals for 2021
