Senior Honors Thesis Grants

Are you going to be writing a senior honors thesis in the social sciences? If so, you are eligible to apply for the Rockefeller Center Senior Honors Grants program. The program provides grants of up to $1,000 for undergraduate students writing a senior honors thesis in the social sciences. See the list of Current and Past Senior Honors Grant Recipients.

How to Apply

Submit an application that includes the following:

1. Cover letter that identifies the honors thesis project and the amount of funding to be requested.

3. Detailed budget that outlines the activities and the associated costs to be covered by the grant.
4. Letter of support from the honors thesis advisor.

If You Are Awarded a Senior Honors Thesis Grant
