Research Grants
The French Department offers two research grants to students majoring in French: the Kenneth Cornell French Major Research Grant and the James T. King French Major Research Grant.
Each grant provides up to $2,000 to one successful applicant per year. Undergraduates who declare a major in French or a double major that includes French (and who will graduate with this major) may apply in the fall semester for a research grant to fund a short travel period, usually undertaken during the winter break.
- Applicants should submit a one-page research proposal, including a breakdown of expenses, to the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Submit the application using the link at the bottom of this page.
- No letter of recommendation is required, but applicants are required to consult with a faculty member in the French department about their proposed research trip, and should state this in their grant proposal.
- Within one month of returning to the US, the grant recipient will be asked to provide a one-page report of their research trip to the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Funds must be used before the first day of classes of the final semester of the senior year.
