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 primarily in the College of Arts & Sciences.
Fellowship Details
- Awarded to original, student-initiated research conducted primarily during the summer. Priority will be given to projects in the humanities and social sciences as well as interdisciplinary projects involving at least one of these areas.
- 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 must have a major in the College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) (or be an Economics major), at Gonzaga University.
- Students must be returning to Gonzaga’s campus for continued full-time study in the fall after the summer fellowship. 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 (or Economics).
- Sponsored projects must be original, student-initiated research with deliverable results by the end of the summer.
- Students who have already received a Morris Fellowship are ineligible to apply again.
