Grants and Awards

The Georges Lurcy Grant Program offers male and female Newcomb-Tulane College students the opportunity to undertake a term-time research or special projects under the direction of a faculty member. Grants in the range of $200 to $1,000 will be awarded for the purchase of research materials and resources, for travel and access to special collections or libraries, laboratory supplies, performance-related expenses, art supplies, and to defray other expenses directly incurred by project research.

The Gordon Summer Fellowship offers a grant to one male and one female undergraduate student for an innovative summer project designed for intellectual and personal growth. The grant is offered on a competitive basis each spring, and students awarded the grant money will use it during the following summer. Preference will be given to those students whose plans have substantial intellectual and/or academic merit, whose goals are clearly defined, and whose budgets are sound. The amount of the grant for 2008 is $3,000.

The Oscar Lee Putnam Cultural and Intellectual Enrichment Program provides grants for university students from Louisiana with proposals for research, travel, artistic, and internship projects. Proposed projects may be related to a student’s course of study or intended career or they may be designed to facilitate creativity and intellectual development through the exploration of talents or interests not specifically related to a curriculum.
