Tom McAuley Undergraduate Scholarship for Academic Achievement

Katherine Krieghbaum Scholarship for senior thesis research in London
Northwestern's Weinberg College Committee on Undergraduate Academic Excellence
A "research scholarship[] to recognize exceptional promise in undergraduate research in the arts and sciences. These scholarships, provided through the generosity of donors, are awarded by the Weinberg College Committee on Undergraduate Academic Excellence to those Weinberg College students who, in the judgment of the Committee, best demonstrate promise of distinguished research in their major. All scholarship applications require: a statement from the student explaining the research project to be undertaken, the significance of the research in the field, the student's preparation for undertaking the project, and the methodology to be followed, a recommendation from the faculty member who will supervise the research, a recommendation from a second faculty member not involved with the research." http://www.weinberg.northwestern.edu/advising/honors/funding/maceykriegbaum.html
Undergraduate Research Grant (URG) for independent research in Dakar, Senegal
Northwestern University
Conducted field research on political graffiti in Dakar, Senegal, in advance of the February 2012 presidential election there, to determine the graffiti's relationship to the struggling Senegalese democracy. I then used this original research for my senior honors thesis.
Ginsberg Grant for research on OHADA, West African business law system
Northwestern University Political Science Department
Conducted field research advised by Professor Karen Alter to study the formalizing effect of the OHADA system on the Senegalese economy. "The Ted and Cora Ginsberg grants support undergraduate political science research. The project must be student initiated and conducted with the collaboration of a Political Science faculty member. The research can occur during the summer or during an academic year and need not be conducted for credit. Interested students should approach a faculty member to discuss a potential project. Academic year funds can be used for travel to research venues and for expenses related to undertaking the research. Summer funds can also be used to cover living expenses during the period of research. The proposal should include an application coversheet (see link above), an informal transcript, and a 3-5 page description of the project that includes the research topic, the proposed research methodology (e.g. analysis of secondary literature, archival visits, field research, experimental research etc), a brief description of your background preparation for the research, including how you expect the research to further your intellectual development and political science education, and a budget" http://www.polisci.northwestern.edu/undergraduate/ginsberg.html
Foreign Language Certificate
Northwestern University Political Science Department
Achieved in French, for the completion of study abroad classes in Senegal that were held in French, field research conducted and a 20-page research paper written in the language (on the OHADA West African business law and court system) while studying abroad, and further field research conducted in French for my senior honors thesis ("Dakar Graffiti"). "To encourage the integration of foreign language study into political science major, the Department of Political Science has created a new Certificate of Achievement in a Foreign Language. Foreign language is defined as a language other than English and one's native language. A student may earn this certificate by obtaining a grade of B or better in two courses that fall into the following categories: A 300 level course that counts toward the satisfaction of the political science major conducted in a foreign language through study abroad. The completion of a regular Northwestern political science course at the 300 level in which the student utilized his or her foreign language skills. This option requires students to take the initiative to approach a faculty member at the start of a term to work out a plan for the student to bring his or her language skills into the class assignments. The plan may involve reading a text in the original language rather than translation, examination of additional or alternative sources, conducting interviews, writing a paper in the foreign language, or any other assignment approved by the instructor. The 300 level work may include 399 (student designed independent research) or 398 (thesis research) enrollments." http://www.polisci.northwestern.edu/undergraduate/certificate.html
Barry Farrell Summer Experiential Learning Grant
Northwestern University Political Science Department
For a summer internship in the Washington, D.C. office of Senator Charles Schumer "Each year the department provides financial support to allow sophomore or junior political science majors to engage in summer experiential learning that is related to their political science studies. Experiences could include an internship or work with a non-profit public service organization. Support is not provided for undergraduate research (students should apply for a University Research Grant or a Ted and Cora Ginsberg Research Grant instead) or for professional development oriented work experiences. Interested students should submit an application that includes a cover sheet, a description of the planned experience, and the student's expectations for how the experience will complement their political science studies. Students awarded a fellowship are expected to provide a letter verifying their planned work with an organization before the award is dispensed. Awards generally will not exceed $1500, and are usually in the $400-$800 range. Students' financial need for the summer is taken into account in determining award amounts. Support is not provided for undergraduate research or for professional development oriented work experiences." http://www.polisci.northwestern.edu/undergraduate/farrell.html
