Undergraduate Research Fellowships
The Center’s undergraduate student fellowship program seeks to support undergraduate students working in the areas of Indigenous research and Native American and Indigenous Studies. The Center will provide funding of up to $1000 to support students who are traveling to begin collaboration, conduct research, attend a conference, or present their work at a relevant conference or gathering.
Undergraduate student fellows will present their work at end of year CNAIR Research Symposium.

In addition, each year we will award a Summer Undergraduate Research Grant (URG) to one Northwestern undergraduate student. The grant will support an independent academic or creative project that utilizes library collections and expertise in the field of study of Native American and Indigenous research. The grant provides $4,000 to cover living expenses for eight weeks of full-time independent research under the supervision of a faculty advisor and the guidance of a librarian mentor.
