The Richter Scholars Program awards research grants to undergraduate and graduate students. Students in all disciplines are eligible to receive the awards and awards have been used to support everything from summer research in chemistry to a campus film project.

Awards are typically around $3,700 and can include student stipends (undergraduates can include up to $3200 for a summer stipend).

Students applying for stipends should indicate the amount of time they intend to spend on the project.

In addition, there is a guide designed to help students in the preparation of proposals. For more information, visit the university’s website (http://www.georgefox.edu/academics/richter).
