About the Award

The Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering Poster Printing Award offers undergraduate engineering students with a demonstrated record of academic excellence a grant to offset research poster printing costs.

Funding Process

Undergraduate students must submit a complete application to be considered for this funding. Applications will be reviewed and acceptances will be communicated via email. Once accepted, awardees are expected to email OUR a digital copy of their poster (in the standard 36 in. height x 48 in. width). OUR will print and deliver posters to the symposium site.

Disclaimer About Last Minute Poster Changes

Last minute changes for posters are expected and we will do our best to accommodate changes sent to us after your application has been accepted and you sent your poster to OUR. However, OUR has sent your poster for printing, we cannot make new changes at that point. We are unable to reprint posters once they have been printed.
