The Student Enhancement Awards are funded by the Office of the Vice President for 研究 and Creative Activity and reviewed by the Council for 研究, 奖学金与创意活动, 由教务委员会任命的. 

"I am extremely grateful to the Student Enhancement Award for providing me with this opportunity to fund genetic work and travel to multiple national forests across the eastern United States this summer to collect live violets and environmental data for my PhD research,艾米丽·巴比说. “It is an incredible privilege to be able to travel to so many beautiful and diverse habitats for research as a botanist."

Milton Lindsey explained that the Student Enhancement Award program is providing essential support for research this summer.

"Receiving the SEA has been a tremendous honor,” Lindsay said. “The Season Farmworker Visa Program is one of the most overlooked aspects of the immigration debate, and I am so excited to have the opportunity to pursue a relatively unexplored topic, especially one with such national importance."  

The program received 47 proposals with a total funding request of $207,110. Students may request up to $6,000 per proposal.
