Dear Students,
The Ray and Lorna Coppinger Endowment provides funding support for 
students and faculty working primarily in the fields of animal behavior, 
wildlife biology, comparative cognition, evolution, ecology or 
environmental science. Ray Coppinger, a founding member of the faculty, 
was a leader in establishing Hampshire's emphasis on student inquiry and 
research. The Ray and Lorna Coppinger Endowment was established in 2006 
to support student and student-faculty collaborative research in the 
cognitive and biological sciences. Income from the endowment is awarded 
competitively in response to proposals, which both students and faculty 
are invited to submit. Funds can be used to support student research 
projects, student-faculty collaborative research, and student research 
assistantships, internships, or field studies.

The maximum award amount available for each proposal is $3000, or $4500 
for proposals that include a stipend for students in placements with 
Hampshire College faculty. The Coppinger Fund supports independent 
student research or student-faculty collaborative research in the fields 
of animal behavior, wildlife biology, comparative cognition, evolution, 
ecology or environmental science. Funds can be used for equipment, 
travel to field sites, supplies, or other direct research expenses. 
Proposals from students must have the support of a faculty supervisor or 
mentor.

If you are planning to pursue a research assistantship, internship or 
field study this summer, working with a member of the Hampshire faculty, 
or with a faculty member at another institution, in the fields of animal 
behavior, wildlife biology, comparative cognition, evolution, ecology or 
environmental science, the Coppinger Fund can provide you with a grant 
to help defray the costs of travel to a site, housing during your 
internship of field study (if not provided), and some lab expenses. 
Students in placements at Hampshire College with Hampshire College 
faculty are also eligible for a stipend of $125 per week for a maximum 
of 12 weeks (total stipend not to exceed $1,500)

Interested students should contact the sponsoring faculty 
member/researcher directly and negotiate the internship/assistantship 
placement directly with that faculty member, and the student is 
responsible for applying to the Coppinger Fund for support.

Funding is competitive.
