The Dorothy Levis Munroe Student Research Fund, managed by the College’s Office of Research, supports undergraduate and graduate students who conduct research in the natural and mathematical sciences. Endowed by alumna and lifelong educator Dorothy Levis Munroe ’44, the fund provides awards of up to $1000 to students working on research projects with faculty mentors from eligible departments: Biology; Chemistry and Biochemistry; Computer Science; Geography, Environment, and Sustainability; Mathematics and Statistics; and Physics. The award may be spent on materials and supplies, research-related travel (conferences or fieldwork), or similar expenses, but cannot be used for student stipends. Students must apply in partnership with their mentor, and each faculty mentor can sponsor up to 2 students. Applications are available August 15 and are due September 16. Faculty mentors should submit the completed application on behalf of the student.
