Glynn Family Honors Program

The Glynn Family Honors Program proudly supports a variety of undergraduate research initiatives. Students are eligible to receive up to $6,000 in different grants over the course of their study and up to $5,500 in summer educational or internship support. While priority is given to students working on thesis research, we encourage students to apply for grants that open up new opportunities or lead to externally-funded grants later.
