Our departments also offer financial assistance for students interested in their specific degree programs. Students who want to become teachers should explore these external funding sources:

Undergraduate Research Grants

The college supports and fosters the development of undergraduate research through the Undergraduate Research Grant and the Undergraduate Student Research Initiative.

Undergraduate students involved in research have the opportunity to:

  • learn more about research areas within the college,
  • develop their own research skills, and
  • gain exposure to the research process.

CEHD Undergraduate Research Grant

Undergraduate students may be awarded a $500 stipend to assist with tuition, books and other supplies needed to carry out the research.  To apply for the grant, students must complete and submit the application form prior to the semester in which the research will begin.

Undergraduate Student Research Initiative

Faculty recipients are granted funds for one or more undergraduate student research mentees.

For a complete list of grants and loans offered through the U.S. Department of Education and the state of Texas, visit the Higher Education Coordinating Board.
