The CSTEM Scholars program provides funding for students to be supported in a faculty-mentored research or creative experience. The program is funded by donors to the CSTEM Student-Faculty Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities Fund, with the goal to provide research support across all majors in the College of STEM. The program seeks to aid students in the process of designing, implementing, analyzing, and presenting original and faculty-mentored research in order to build scholarly bodies of work. This includes the ability to attend a professional conference before students are ready to present their own work.

Eligibility

  • Enrollment: All applicants must be enrolled at least half-time, be in good academic standing, and be engaged in a CSTEM research project.
  • Award Frequency: Students may only receive one CSTEM Scholar award each academic year.
  • Faculty Mentors: CSTEM faculty mentors are required for all applicants.
  • Final Reports: A one-page final report is required from all funded students. The report is due on the first day of classes for the fall quarter.
  • EWU Student Research and Creative Works Symposium: Awardees are expected to present their project at the EWU Student Research and Creative Works Symposium in May.
