Community-Based Research
In collaboration with W&M faculty, the Sharpe Program advances community-based research and teaching in courses with integrated, community partnering.
Action Research Pathways
- In the Spring Semester, first-year Sharpe Scholars have the opportunity to participate in research apprenticeships and mini-internships with numerous community-based research and engagement organizations who have partnered with Sharpe.
- These Pathways provide students with invaluable community, academic, and professional connections that can inspire and support future research endeavors after their first year.
- Applications to pursue an Action Research Pathway will open November 1st!
Funding for Summer Research
- Sharpe Scholars are eligible to apply for an exclusive $5000 award to conduct community-based Action Research Internship over the summer.
- Sharpe Scholars are also encouraged to apply for Charles Center Summer Research Grants.
