William C. Friday Arts and Humanities Research Award FY28

Description

The Institute for the Arts and Humanities and Honors Carolina—with the generous support of the William C. Friday Leadership Fund—are proud to offer an exciting opportunity for undergraduate students to assist former IAH Fellows in their current research projects. Students will also acquire fundamental skills in conducting graduate-level research in the arts and humanities.

In an effort to initiate and foster new collaborative partnerships, preference will be given to faculty/student pairings that have not previously worked together on funded research projects. Interdisciplinary projects are highly encouraged.

Students receive a $2,000 stipend, payable during the fall, spring, or summer, depending on when the research project is conducted. Please note that summer awards are limited and are not guaranteed. Terms of the award will be disclosed in the award letter provided to funded projects.
