Underhill Grants fund activities designed to enhance and enlarge the intellectual experience of undergraduates at Carolina, particularly first year students. Grants of up to $1,000 are available to faculty teaching First Year Seminars or Honors courses in the following disciplines:

• English
• Environmental Studies
• Folklore
• History
• Math
• Physics
• Biology

We are particularly interested in activities that might be opened to the
larger campus community, but that is not a requirement for funding. Some possibilities for Underhill Grants include, but are not limited to:

• Informal get-togethers and meals for students and faculty
• Films or art exhibits
• Performances and readings
• Speakers and other classroom projects
• The production of class projects (published collections of student writing, art and photo exhibits, etc.)

Instructors who are eligible for Underhill grants will receive via e-mail a notice of upcoming deadlines. Applicants are asked to complete and submit the online application form.
