DOWNLOAD AND PRINT AN APPLICATION

The Georges Lurcy Grant Program offers Newcomb-Tulane College students the opportunity to undertake a term-time research or other special project 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, conference expenses, laboratory supplies, performance-related expenses, art supplies, and to defray other expenses directly incurred by project research. Examples of such projects may include but are not limited to:

• performance of an original musical or theatrical work,

• research in the laboratory of a faculty mentor,

• honors-thesis research requiring the consultation of special collections,

• exhibition of a portfolio of art,

• attendance at professional conferences,

• research requiring field work or study.

Applicants should make detailed and specific proposals that clearly show how the grant will be used. To be eligible, students must be registered for a regular or special course (such as an honors thesis, independent study, or special-projects course) that is directly related to the funded research. Winners of Georges Lurcy Research Grants will make presentations of their research and findings in public colloquia, performances, or exhibitions.

Applications for the spring 2008 Lurcy grants are due in the Office of Cocurricular Programs, 204 Robert C. Cudd Hall, by 5 p.m. on Friday, February 15, 2008.
