In addition to supplying scholarships for tuition and fees, the McMaster endowment also provides a pool of funds for student research and special study programs. Students in good standing may apply for grants to support individual research or creative production as well as participation in field schools, seminars, conferences and study abroad programs. You must be a current Reaud Honors College student during the time of your experience.
Special consideration will be given to students involved in honors thesis projects and individual study/scholarship courses resulting in honors course credit.
For all grant requests, the requested budget normally should not exceed $1,000. Requests for faculty or student stipends are not appropriate.
You have the opportunity to contribute to Reaud Honors College scholarships that directly enrich the Lamar educational experience.
MCMASTER GRANT FOR STUDY ABROAD/PARTNERS IN THE PARKS
To apply to participate in Study Abroad or Partners in the Parks trips, please follow these instructions:

In addition to applying for a McMaster grant using the above portal, you must also separately apply and be accepted for your trip by NCHC. You are also responsible for purchasing your own airfare, which we recommend you do AFTER you receive confirmation from NCHC that the trip is taking place.
