Message sent on behalf of Dr. Harriett Romo, Director of the UTSA Mexico Center
The Mexico Center is pleased to announce the 2015-2016 competition for the UTSA Mexico Center Educational Research Fellowship.
This fellowship provides financial assistance for student/faculty research projects on Mexico-related topics that need time in Mexico to do field
work or consultation at a university or research center. The student grants, funded by the “Carlos and Malú Alvarez International Study Fund,” are worth $4,000. They pay for student travel to Mexico, food,
lodging, local travel, and supplies/materials needed to complete the project (i.e. data sets for quantitative analysis, transcribers/recorders for fieldwork, etc.) To encourage teams of
faculty and student researchers, the Mexico Center will supplement the student grant with up to $1,000 for faculty members working with students on the projects (one faculty member per project). The funds from the Mexico Center for the faculty member supervising
the project will pay for faculty travel to Mexico, food, lodging, and supplies/materials needed to complete the
project. The grant cannot support faculty research alone. Funding is contingent upon travel approval by the UTSA International Oversight Committee (IOC)
(Travel to borders states in Mexico is highly restricted).
Eligibility:
-
Currently enrolled UTSA graduate or undergraduate students in any department or discipline
-
Current UTSA faculty members
-
Previous recipients of the Mexico Center fellowship are eligible to apply
The UTSA Mexico Center requests copies of the finished work and a financial report of expenses by the spring semester of 2017. A presentation of the research
project will be scheduled once the report has been turned in.
Proposals are due by
Monday, December 7, 2015. Please send the completed application form (in word or pdf format) as an attachment (via-email) to
olivia.lopez@utsa.edu.
An e-mail confirmation will be returned upon receipt of the proposal. Proposals will be reviewed by the UTSA Mexico Center Advisory Board.
Awards will be announced in late January 2016.
The attached application form can also be downloaded from:
