Bicycle Master Plan Survey

Washington University is currently in the process of developing a Bicycle Master Plan for the Danforth Campus. Students who complete a survey will have a chance to win one of five gift certificates for the following business or service: Campus Bookstore, WU Dining Services, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Big Shark Bike Shop, or Car-share hours for the WeCar program. There will be one $100 gift certificate and four $50 gift certificates in the drawing.

To help the University improve transportation alternatives on campus, take the short survey.


NASA Aeronautics Scholarship Program

The NASA Aeronautics Scholarship Program is now being administered by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Approximately 20 two-year undergraduate, and 5 three-year graduate scholarships are expected to be awarded annually to students pursuing aeronautical engineering and related fields. Completed applications will be collected electronically from February 22 through March 17. To learn more about eligibility requirements, award benefits, application instructions, and to apply online, visit the program's Website.


Bear Cub Fund Grants

After a two-year gap in funding, the University has re-established the Bear Cub Fund grant program through the Office of Technology Management (OTM). The fund supports innovative translational research not normally backed by federal grants. Any Washington University faculty member, post-doctoral fellow, graduate student or employee may apply.

Individual grants of $20,000-$50,000 will be awarded in the spring. Grant applications are due March 15. More information about the grants and the application are available online.
