SRHC GRANTS

The Southern Regional Honors Council (SRHC) will provide funding for honors students from  any SRHC member institution (current annual membership must be confirmed) to support involvement in the following activities: 
 

• presenting at a conference or participating in a professional development conference seminar, or workshop (either disciplinary or honors-affiliated) 

• participation in a study-abroad activity 

• completion of a service project or  

• completion of an innovative project of the student’s own design (e.g., an invention).

 

Grant Amounts

​

​SRHC will allocate $3,000 per fiscal year—$1,500 each fall and spring semester—to support student projects. Students may request up to $500, which will be paid by check to the recipient before the conference, travel, or project begins

​

Application Process

 

All funding requests will be reviewed and approved by the SRHC Scholarships and Awards Committee. Upon completion, it is required that the student submit a summary of their experience, as well as at least one photograph, so that we may utilize this information for the website or social media channels. Failure to submit this information may result in students  from the institution being ineligible from receiving grants in the following year. 
 

• Approximately six (6) grants will be awarded each year.  

• The number of awards each semester and total for the year may depend on the  number of applications received and the funding amounts requested per semester.

• The SRHC Executive Board encourages each institution to recommend and submit one to three strong applications per semester.  

• If there is additional funding available due to a lower application pool than anticipated  within a semester or year, the committee may then consider selecting more than one application per institution for funding. 

 

All applications must include an anticipated budget using a budget template that will be  provided, as well as the name and contact information for one honors faculty mentor or advisor who may be contacted about the student’s project, presentation, or program and the availability  of alternative funding. Preference will be given to students for whom alternative funding sources are not readily available. For projects that require acceptance (e.g., a conference presentation, study abroad participation), documentation confirming acceptance must also be provided.  

 

For any questions, please contact the SRHC Treasurer at treasurer@srhconline.org.

Applications will be available in Summer 2026
