The Experiential Learning Travel Scholarship offsets costs for undergraduate students who are traveling to take part in an experiential learning activity or presenting their findings at a conference.
Students may receive up to $800 in a single academic year through this funding opportunity. Funding for this scholarship is limited and will be awarded on a rolling basis each semester until funds are exhausted.
Undergraduate students taking part in any experiential learning activity may apply. Priority will be given to students engaged in undergraduate research, creative activities, clinical/practicum experiences, and community engaged learning. Students engaged in other types of experiential learning (study abroad or internships) should first exhaust other options for funding.
Students seeking funding to support study abroad participation should begin their search through Education Abroad. For internships, students should speak to their career and academic advisors about possible sources of funding, including the HHC Internship grant.
Applicants should plan to submit their application at least one month prior to proposed travel. Applications typically take two weeks to review, with funding being disbursed approximately two weeks after for those that are approved.
Applicants are asked to submit a budget listing all travel costs, including:
Verification of activity is also required and can be submitted through:
