2018 Neilsen Scholarship Program

Limited Submissions

The goal of this program is to support students with SCI (spinal cord injury) in their pursuit of a higher education. These scholarships cover the cost of tuition, books and fees for undergraduate or graduate studies for eligible students to pursue an education in their chosen degree program. A second component of the NSP is to provide each institution with a Supplemental Support Fund grant to help reduce barriers to the students’ academic success. Once the scholarship funding is awarded, grantee institutions will be awarded this support to provide assistance to their NSP students and/or subsidize the NSP student’s expenses throughout their course of study.

Application Instructions

Please submit:

  • §  a 1-to-2 page letter of intent with a description of proposed aims and approach
  • §  Biosketch or CV of the PI
  • §  a letter of support from the Dean or Chair. This letter of support signifies that the Dean or Chair have ensured that the nominee and application are likely to be of sufficient quality to be competitive nationally

 

to research@uw.edu by 5:00 PM Thursday, April 20, 2017. Full proposals are due to the sponsor 6/2/17, so you will need to have your materials in to the Office of Sponsored Programs by 5/25/17 for processing, if given the go ahead by the Proposal Review Committee.

Inquiries and Contact Information

Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
