Judith Reppy Women's Studies Independent Research Grant
The Women's Studies Program welcomes spring applications for the
Judith Reppy Women's Studies Independent Research Grant. This
grant is made possible by the generosity of Judith Voris Reppy,
who graduated magna cum laude from the College in 1958
and went on to earn a master's degree from Yale University and
a doctorate in economics from Cornell University. She has directed
the Peace Studies Program at Cornell and has studied the economics
of defense, security, and peace for many years. The Judith Reppy
Women's Studies Independent Research Grant provides funds for
MHC students pursuing independent study projects related to the
study of women. The grant is intended to provide assistance for
projects that could be implemented or enhanced by outside financial
support. Grants will be awarded based on the merit of the project
proposal and availability of funds. Preference will be given to
women's studies majors and minors whose projects, in whole or
in part, meet course requirements for the following women's studies
courses: WS 390, WS 395, and WS 295. Grants will not be awarded
for projects that earn credit in other academic departments or
programs. Applications must secure the signature of a women's
studies faculty member who is willing to serve as adviser for
the project. Although preference will be given to women's studies
majors and minors, applicants may also be students whose projects
earn women's studies credit, but whose majors or minors are in
other disciplines. Applications are welcomed from an individual
student, a student team, or a student/faculty team. The grant
may be used to meet expenses incurred in completing the project
and for expenses such as travel, conference fees, books, photocopying,
postage, printing, telephone, or child care. Applicants should
be as specific as possible in submitting predicted research expenses
or expenses already incurred. A detailed report will be required
upon completion of the project. The deadline for the spring 2002
review of applications is Friday, March 8. Applications are available
at the women's studies office located in the library, room 415.
