Experiences eligible for funding include: internships, volunteer work, academic programs, independent projects/research, and entrepreneurial ventures. Applications open annually at the start of the spring semester and funds are awarded up to $5,000. Funding can be used to cover expenses directly related to the experience, including: housing, food, travel, clothing/equipment, and program costs.
