Funded by the Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris FoundationÌýand the Fletcher Jones Foundation, the highly competitive awards provide a total of $15,000 in support through the junior and senior years for up to four students each year.

In spring of their junior year, each scholar receives a $2,000 study grant. For the summer following their junior year, they receive a study grant of $6,000 plus free on-campus housing and a meal plan so that they may participate in Occidental’s Summer Research Program at no cost. In their senior year, they receive a study grant of $4,000. They are also each allotted $3,000 for research expenses and professional travel.

The scholars are expected to participate in part-time research activity (10 hours per week) during the junior year spring semester; conduct full-time research for 10 weeks during the summer following the junior year; and participate in part-time research (10 hours per week) during their senior academic year. They prepare interim reports after spring, summer and fall, and a final report for their donating foundation in May of their senior year.
