Senior Capstone Funding Request
The UK College of Engineering Alumni Association (COEAA) has assistance funds available for support of UK COE senior “capstone” projects. The COEAA realizes that these projects can be expensive but are a very critical part of an engineering student’s learning experience while at UK. To that end, the COEAA would like to offer to help fund (or reimburse depending on timing) up to ten senior projects in the 2012-2013 academic year for up to $250 per project team. The review team will be looking to assist complex, innovative proposals that fully leverage the students learning to date and are aligned with their department’s senior project criteria. Funds will be awarded in April 2013. Applications can be found at http://www.engr.uky.edu/alumni/services/senior-capstone-funding/.
