Sociology Undergraduate Program Funding Opportunities
The Sociology Department provides funding (up to $300) to support academic experiences beyond the traditional U-M classroom. Examples of such experiences include study abroad for a particular course or sociological experience, an internship, a research project, or conference attendance.
Guidelines:
- Student must be declared as a Sociology major, LJSC minor, or SHM minor.
- Applications must be submitted prior to the start of the proposed academic experience by one of the following deadlines: October 1, December 1, February 1, and April 1.
(UPDATE: we are currently not able to accept applications due to U-M COVID-19 restrictions) - A student may receive this award a maximum of two times for two separate experiences.
- Upon completion of the experience, students must submit a picture and complete a follow-up survey/questionnaire about the experience. Responses are published on the department website.

Sociology Honors Thesis Research Funding
Students who have been admitted to the Honors Program in Sociology may request up to $400 to support their research project for the Honors Thesis. Before requesting these funds, students in the Honors Program should review the full funding policy and direct questions to the department advisor.
