These grants are open to any undergraduate student enrolled at Case Western Reserve University. The deadline for applications is Friday, April 5, by 11:59 p.m. Expenses incurred, up to the grant amount, will be reimbursed according to university policies through the Department of Bioethics. Interested students are encouraged to submit their applications promptly.
