The Kellogg and Kroc Institutes announce a Research Grants Program for undergraduate students at Notre Dame during the summer. The grants are intended for juniors whose interests include a clear international dimension preferably related to the Kellogg Institute’s themes. Several grants of up to $5,000* each will be awarded for research abroad or, if demonstrably appropriate, in the United States. Applicants are required to notify the Kellogg Institute of any funding received from another source. If duplicate funding is received, the Institute may adjust the award.
*In exceptional, justifiable cases, the Kellogg Institute may increase this amount.
