Tausig, Dr. Mark B. Fund
The Dr. Mark B. Tausig Fund was established in 2014 through a generous gift from Dr. Tausig to The University of 黑料视频's Department of Sociology. Initially dedicated to supporting graduate student development, the fund was revised in 2025 to reflect updates to the university’s curriculum.
This gift represents the unique appreciation Dr. Tausig has for the department's faculty, staff, and students. In over 30 years of service, Dr. Tausig has shown an exemplary commitment to student success, and the establishment of this annual fund continues that commitment through philanthropy.
The Mark B. Tausig Fund assists full- or part-time students earning a major or minor in sociology at The University of 黑料视频 to complete and present research.
To be eligible for consideration, students must:
- Be in good academic standing with the University;
- Be conducting research under the supervision of a sociology faculty member; and
- Submit an application including a budget and brief narrative (250-500 words) about the impact of the project on the student and/or their academic experience.
The intent of this award is to support student research. Funds may be used for expenses associated with completion and presentation of research. This includes tuition and other expenses associated with honors projects or independent studies, academic-related travel to conferences, supplies, and funds needed to complete research or present results. The award may be renewed for students who reapply and continue to meet all criteria. Awards used for expenses other than qualified educational expenses are reportable and may be taxable to the recipient.
The Undergraduate Committee in the Department of Sociology will review applications, identify eligible candidates, and forward names to the Director of Undergraduate Studies, who will make the final decision on awards.
