Research Grants

At the graduate level, FFS grants provide support for doctoral students who are writing dissertations in areas related to law and economics, public choice, public policy, and public administration. FFS-supported graduate students typically receive funding in the last year of their graduate programs.

At the undergraduate level, FFS research grants provide students with the opportunity to conduct research projects that go beyond their typical coursework. Students work with a faculty member to develop a topic, construct a research strategy and complete the research.
