Overview

Note: Students seeking support for academic research should apply through a single application, with the exception of graduate students applying for domestic research funding. About the Streicker Fund The Streicker Fund for Student Research provides support for academic projects requiring international travel. These projects must be for credit and supervised by YLS appointed faculty; they need not be graded. Examples include field research, in-country interviews with relevant stakeholders, and archival research. Research trips are typically conducted during extended academic recesses (e.g., summer or winter break).  Streicker scholarships are limited to one per student. Travel should be during school breaks: Winter, Spring, and Summer. During the Fall term, or any other time, you should strive not to miss your classes. In the event missing class is unavoidable, you must receive advance permission from your professors and make arrangements for notes or recordings so that you can make up the class. The length of stay depends on your research needs. Be realistic. Should you wish to travel/stay longer for reasons unrelated to your research, please disclose this in your proposal.
