The WRC’s Water Scholars Program provides funding for currently enrolled ECU undergraduate and graduate students who are seeking support for a student-led, faculty-supervised creative, educational, or research project.
The student applicant is required to identify a faculty member who will serve as a mentor. The faculty mentor is expected to provide guidance on the design of the proposal and serve as a mentor throughout the span of the project. Proposals should include a component that supports and builds the WRC community. Examples for supporting and building the WRC community include (but are not limited to) the following:
- helping to develop a new community field site,
- building data infrastructure,
- initiating/strengthening community partnerships,
- leading citizen science activities, or
- creating and sharing stories about the issues in the region (e.g., documentaries, storyboards, etc.).
A total of $15,000 in funding is available. Project areas are open – ranging from support of basic research to community engagement, citizen science, communications or art!
