Marriage, Family, and Human Development Research Scholarship

The Marriage, Family, and Human Development Research Award is funded by proceeds from the sale of a book authored by Marriage, Family, and Human Development professors and students. A number of students played key roles in the data collection, analysis, and write-up of findings. In recognition of the contribution that students continually make to the research process in the Marriage, Family, and Human Development Department, this award is given to a student who shows promise as a family scholar and who will share research findings with families.

All of the scholarships are given from funds established by the donors. Since the university allows only the interest to be used, the amount of the scholarships will vary year to year.

Students must register for a minimum of 28 credits during the two semesters covered by a scholarship in order to be eligible unless arrangements have been made previously with the Marriage, Family, and Human Development department.
