The Bander Family Fund Award is intended to encourage students to think creatively in defining work that can only be done outside the classroom. The Bander Fund will award $4,000 to one or two undergraduate students in the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences (KSAS) who wish to pursue such an independent project over the summer. The work may be independent research, a creative venture, or an internship directly related to a field of study. KSAS first-years, sophomores, and juniors are eligible to apply. Seniors are not eligible for this award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A final academic report (approximately 10 pages) outlining the intellectual outcomes of the study must be submitted by the end of the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Successful proposals typically come from students who are adept at self-directed learning, innovative thinking, and exploring the possible, not just the probable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Funds may be used for research-related expenses, such as expendable supplies, special equipment, and project-related travel. A living stipend may be allowed if the applicant can demonstrate how this will directly facilitate their ability to carry out the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
