About the Morris Undergraduate Research Fellowship
Established in 2017 thanks to a generous donation from Scott ('80, '89) and Liz (Tomich, '80) Morris, the Morris Undergraduate Research Fellowships are awarded to student-faculty research teams within the College of Arts & Sciences.
Fellowship Details
- Awarded to original, student-initiated research projects carried out during the summer months.
- Both the student and the faculty mentor receive a stipend for this work (which is considered part-time).
- The Fellows are required to meet as a group (in-person) six times over the summer during Summer Sessions 1 and 2, plus attend a celebration meeting shortly before fall classes begin.
- Final reports are due a few days before the first day of fall semester classes.
- Project presentations will be given during Fall Family Weekend's Undergraduate Research Showcase.
Eligibility
- Students with a major in the College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) at Gonzaga University.
- Students must be returning to Gonzaga's campus in the fall after their summer research fellowship for continued full-time study. Students studying abroad in the fall are not eligible.
- Students must find a full-time Gonzaga faculty member in CAS to sponsor their research project; while this mentor would typically be a faculty member in CAS, we will consider faculty in other schools on a case-by case basis as long as the research topic is in a CAS discipline.
- Sponsored projects must be in original, student-initiated research with deliverable results by the end of the summer.
