Each year, as outlined below, REEEC invites student applications for Skalnik Scholarship Grants.  

Each fall, we will award two Conference Grants of $500, meant to help students present the results of their research at professional conferences and public events.  In the spring, we will award one short-term Summer Grant of $750, meant to support student research or participation in educational or training programs.  Undergraduate as well as graduate students are eligible and encouraged to apply for these Skalnik Scholarship Grants.

Fall Deadline for Conference Grants: September 23, 2024

Spring Deadline for Summer Grant: April 1, 2025

Submission Guidelines:
For both grants, students should submit a short cover letter (1-2 page) describing their research, educational, or conference plans, and why they are seeking Skalnik Scholarship Grant support.  Applicants should also include with this attachment: 1) a short budget, explaining how they will use the grant; 2) any supporting materials documenting their plans (such as correspondence about a summer program or conference, or any research prospectus or proposal they have developed for their project).

Eligibility:
Applicants must be currently enrolled as students at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.  Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously won a Skalnik Scholarship Grant.

Submit Application Materials by E-mail to: John Randolph (Director, REEEC), at  jwr@illinois.edu.  Please place “Skalnik Scholarship” in the subject heading.
