Funding
Applications for two different forms of need-based project funding are available to students with demonstrated, high financial need. A competitive award is offered for students proposing individual projects and a non-competitive award is offered for group project participants.
1. WT Individual Project Awards
Each year, the Office of Winter Term awards funding to students with high financial need who propose exceptionally well-designed individual projects. Students whose individual project proposals are approved may complete the funding request form for this competitive award, which is included in the individual project application.
- ten $500 prizes will be awarded for individual on-campus projects
- three $1,000 prizes will be awarded for individual U.S. domestic projects
- three $1,000 prizes will be awarded for individual international projects
2. Group Project Funding
Limited, need-based funding is available for students with high financial need who are participating in faculty/staff-led group projects that have a student fee. Students can be awarded an amount that is up to the cost of the student fee for on-campus projects or up to $1,000 for international projects. Please note that this funding is not guaranteed. The request form for this need-based award is included in the group project application.
Housing and Dining
On-Campus Group and Individual Projects
For students who live in on-campus housing and are enrolled in a Campus Dining Services meal plan during the fall and/or spring semester, there are no additional fees for on campus housing and dining during Winter Term.
All students who wish to remain on campus during Winter Term must complete the Res Life housing form by Friday, December 6.
