Office of Residential Life & Class of 1989 Senior Scholars Program
The Senior Scholars Program was established in 1989 by the Class of 1939 during its 50th reunion year. Now managed by the Office of Residential Life and supported by annual gifts from the Class of 1989, the Senior Scholars Program benefits students annually by providing up to ten research grants of $1,000. The funding is used to defray the cost of travel, copying of library research materials, computer software, surveys, room, board, or the printing and binding of a thesis. Grant applications are available at the beginning of fall term.
To be eligible for a Senior Scholars research grant, a student must complete an honors project, thesis, or senior fellowship in their major. He or she must also reside in a College residence hall, academic affinity or special interest house, College-recognized coed, fraternity, or sorority house, or undergraduate or senior society house. The names of award recipients appear on plaques mounted in the common areas of each community.
To apply to be a Senior Scholar, complete a 2008-2009 Application Form. The completed application form must be submitted by October 22, 2008. All questions about the application process should be directed to Assistant Dean Deborah Carney, Senior Scholars Selection Committee Chair, Office of Residential Life, 5 Rope Ferry Rd., Room 305, (603) 646-2399.
