Today, Friday, February 21, is the last day for students to submit applications for the 2020-2021 Canisius Earning Excellence Program (CEEP) awards. Supervisors will have until Friday, February 28 to submit approvals.
What is CEEP?
The Canisius Earning Excellence Program awards students with funding for intellectually demanding projects that create opportunities for applied learning outside the classroom. The work completed through this program is closely related to a career or scholarly field and directly related to faculty scholarship. By working alongside faculty on research-focused projects, students are able to achieve a high level of preparedness for maintaining professional working relationships and for continued studies at the graduate level.
What are the requirements?
A 3.3 or higher GPA is required for all applicants. College policy prevents students from receiving both CEEP and federal work-study during the academic year. Students may receive CEEP in the summer and work-study during the fall and spring or vice versa but not both during the same semester. The hourly rate for CEEP 2020-2021 projects is $12.50 and students may apply for a maximum of 150 hours.
How can a student apply?
More information and links to the online applications are available on the Academic Affairs page on the myCanisius portal. Please note, current CEEP award recipients interested in continuing their project next year will need to fill out new applications for the 2020-2021 award. Renewal is not automatic.
Questions?
If you have any questions regarding the award and application process, contact Jenn Lodi-Smith at Ext. 2513.
