Additional Funding

Ongoing Conference and Research Support

Students participating in Liberal Arts Honors or Departmental Honors programs may apply for funding to attend an academic conference or purchase research materials (e.g. books not available at the library, software, or recording equipment).  These funds, while available, will be provided on a rolling basis.  

LAH Emergency Fund

Students participating in Liberal Arts Honors or Departmental Honors programs with demonstrated emergency need may apply for funding to help ensure they remain enrolled and on track with their degree. Examples include, but are not limited to, rent/housing assistance; technology/book needs for courses; food insecurity; or travel to return home for family emergencies whereby other means for their travel are prohibited.  To qualify for this type of funding, students must demonstrate financial need as well as explain their extenuating circumstances. These funds, while available, will be provided on a rolling basis.  

Please submit your application for conference and research support or the LAH emergency fund through the LASSO Scholarship system  These applications will be reviewed approximately every two weeks on an ongoing basis. 

Note: To access this application, students must have one of the following honors code on their major. Students can check if they have this code by looking up their major in the directory and seeing if there is an honors description after their major, i.e. /Plan 1 Honors; /Departmental Honors; /Liberal Arts Honors.  Please see your academic advisor if you need to get this code added.
