2025 Tyler Center Network
In its second cycle of operation, the Tyler Center for Global Studies Grant Program features an exciting network of higher education institutions. We have partnered with twelve schools, representing a range of locations and student populations served. From Hawai'i to New York, from Florida to Washington, we are endeavoring to expand access to international research opportunities to even more undergraduate students this funding cycle!
