Scholarships


Scholarships are credit vouchers redeemable in center-supported core facilities. They are center and core specific, and are awarded by centers to member investigators at the beginning of each center’s grant year, and expire at the end of that year. 


The Office of Research has developed a scholarship module for the iLab system, which provides complete tracking of scholarship awards, including real-time usage data and billing functionality.

  • Scholarship vouchers are valid only during the supporting center grant year, and will expire by the end of that year. However, most research centers will award new vouchers each year. Contact your center administrator for details of the center-specific process for receiving new scholarships.
