Experiential Learning Opportunity Scholarship

The College of Arts and Sciences is pleased to invite undergraduate students to apply for scholarships to support them in pursuing Experiential Learning Opportunity Scholarship. The scholarship will provide financial support of $500 to $5,000 to assist students in completing an unpaid internship, research opportunity, or service-learning experience. Preference will be given to applicants with financial need, as determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships. We will consider assistance for paid internships where the case can be made that the compensation will not be adequate to cover living expenses.
