Student funding available for food related research! Check out the CRFS Student Awards.

The UA Center for Regional Food Studies (CRFS) is offering up to 3 student awards of $500 to any UA graduate or undergraduate student in support of any food-related research or educational activity.

Students from all departments, disciplines and backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
