2009 - 2010 grant recipients

Summer 2010 PURC-NASNTI Student Fellowships

The PURC Center and the Native American Serving NonTribal Intuitions (NASNTI) grant joined forces to offer paid summer internship/research assistantships for Summer 2010.  Projects should engage students in faculty-mentored research and/or creative scholarship.  Special consideration was given to those projects that involve minority students, and  have the potential to positively impact the community and/or student retention.  Qualified student assistants will be in good academic standing and at or above the sophomore level.  Faculty in the Humanities and Arts were strongly encouraged to apply.
