Centralia College Foundation Approves $10,000 in Funding for Student Research Projects

Posted

The Centralia College Foundation has unanimously approved $10,000 to fund student research projects in 2017.

The funds can be used across all disciplines to complete capstone projects, according to a press release from the college.

Up to $500 may be available for an individual or $2,500 for a group.

This is the third year the foundation has offered financial support to complete the high-profile projects, and the fifth year of the capstone projects at the college.

“The foundation is excited to assist students by providing a source of funding to encourage them with their projects,” Julia Johnson, director of alumni and donor relations, said in the release. “This funding also sets Centralia College apart from other community colleges, as no other community college in the state has such opportunities for students to participate in research-related projects.”

The foundation will host capstone presentation day on June 9. Students will present their work to the foundation and the community.



As part of the applications, students need to create a budget, identify a faculty mentor and describe their project and its benefit to the college or community.

Applications will be accepted from March 13 to April 13. Funding awards will be announced April 17.

Interested students are asked to see a faculty member for an application and additional project details.
