Please refer to the following for important information pertaining to the Marshall Jevons Fund.

The Marshall Jevons Fund was established to make awards of up to $1,000 to undergraduate students at the University of Virginia to support research projects and academic travel in the field of economics. Typical uses of the funds include attending conferences, conducting interviews, and acquiring specialized data.

Eligibility

Current undergraduate students in any year of study who are enrolled in an economics course or doing research on economics in a program outside the Department of Economics may apply.

Funding request forms must be submitted at least 1 month in advance of proposed travel/research date(s). A student is eligible to apply for travel expenses only once, but for research-related expenses a student may apply for the funding of more than one project.

Awards are given at the discretion of the Department of Economics based on the merits of the proposal and the availability of funds. Priority will be given to economics majors over non-majors, students who have not previously received funding from Marshall Jevons over those who have, and according to seniority. Those overseeing the request forms may exercise their discretion to grant a full or partial award.

How to Apply

Students applying for Marshall Jevons funding must submit 2 documents: (1) a one-page written proposal that describes the research project, explains the proposed use of funds, and contains a budget ($1,000 is the maximum award); and (2) a completed Marshall Jevons Funding Request Form.

Please submit proposals and request forms to Kaitlyn Amos by email (in Word or PDF format to ) or by mail (to P.O. Box 400182, Charlottesville, VA 22904).

Approval/Disapproval

Students will receive an email response regarding the decision for theirrequest. If therequest is approved, the student will be notified of the amount of the award and the student must then make arrangements for reimbursement.
