Funding applications for summer study abroad, senior thesis research, internships, junior project research, independent work and undergraduate conference travel must be submitted through SAFE.
Thesis Research Funding
In addition to funds that are available within individual academic departments, the Office of the Dean of the College administers several funds to support senior thesis research. Juniors wishing to apply for summer research grants apply in the late spring, while seniors may apply in the early fall for funds to conduct research over the fall break or during intersession. The Office of the Dean of the College places announcements in The Daily Princetonian and provides departments with information regarding application dates and procedures.
