Gretchen Laatsch Grant and Scholarship

Description

The Gretchen Laatsch Grant and Scholarship gives funding to encourage the involvement of graduate students in scholarly research and writing for the field of college unions and student activities. Applicants must be degree-seeking graduate students enrolled at an ACUI member institution who are not full-time employees at the institution. Aside from the nomination, submission materials also include the following: name, institution, and contact information for all contributors; a separate letter of recommendation from a professional or faculty member that supports the selection of the student applicant, verifying that at least one individual involved with the activity is a student in pursuit of a graduate degree. The submission must: be the original work of the investigators and not have been reported elsewhere; demonstrate a quality of writing and ability to clearly articulate intended outcomes of the proposed activity; have significance and relevance to college unions, student activities, and/or the ACUI Research Agenda; be feasible to complete according to the details and scope of the proposed budget and timeline; and result in at least one research-focused article, educational session, or other ACUI resource within 18 months of receiving the award. Special consideration will be given to students either currently in or intending to enter the profession. Students may apply annually but only receive funding once. They may submit more than one project for grant consideration; however, a complete application packet must be submitted for each. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
