Senior Thesis Funding, offered through Brandeis University’s Provost’s Undergraduate Research Fund, provides limited reimbursement for seniors undertaking research and creative scholarship as part of their senior theses. The program supports work across the creative arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and interdisciplinary fields. Each project must be overseen by a Brandeis faculty mentor.
Funding supports expenses needed to carry out the research or creative project, rather than standard costs of copying and binding the completed thesis. Eligible costs include research supplies, equipment, and off-campus research expenses. The program is connected with the Undergraduate Research and Creative Collaborations Office (URCC).
