Chancellor's Student Research Scholars

A special category of recognition, the Chancellor’s Student Research Scholars, began in 2004 to recognize students who exhibit outstanding achievement in their research or creative art endeavors. Nominations will be reviewed by the Research Committee of the Graduate Council. Each scholar will receive a stipend of $100 and be recognized and awarded individually at the Student Symposium where they will have the opportunity to briefly share their research experiences. Nomination materials will be made available in January, 2024. Current students and students who graduated during the 2023-2024 academic year can be nominated for this recognition.
