The WRC is particularly interested in encouraging and supporting student-faculty and student-staff collaboration in the scholarly enterprise in addition to student-initiated projects of inquiry. Two categories of awards are available: Project Grants and Travel Grants. The Western Research Council (WRC) accepts grant applications in the fall and spring semesters. Learn more.
