SURSCA announced the results of the Fall 2009 round of Falcon Grant awards this week. Overall, $16,332.39 was awarded in this round of the student-funded and peer-reviewed grants program. These awards were made for grants to travel for presentation, group travel and RSCA project costs. Some 35 students participated in these various grants, which included individuals and/or groups from Biology, Psychology, Physics, Chemistry, Agricultural Engineering, Food Sciences, Environmental Sciences and Sociology.

The “Falcon Grants” program was begun in the Fall of 2007-08 as a component of the UWRF Differential Tuition initiative supported by the student body and provides funding for students from throughout the campus for undergraduate Research, Scholarly and Creative Activities (RSCA). To date, more than 250 students have received funding to engage in and/or present their undergraduate RSCA from various fields across the campus.
