McGregor Summer Research Fellowship Program for Undergraduate Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences

In 1998, Calvin College received a grant from the Detroit-based McGregor Fund to establish a program of student fellowships for summer research with faculty in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. The resulting McGregor Fellowship program has funded collaborative student-faculty research since 1999. Although no longer funded solely by the McGregor Fund, the program operates with the generous support of private donors.
