Apply today for BSOS Spring 2023 Undergraduate Experience Funds!

 Apply today for BSOS Spring 2023 Undergraduate Experience Funds!

These funds assist undergraduate BSOS majors engaged in experiential learning outside the classroom, such as unpaid internships, research, service-learning, and professional or academic virtual conferences. The funds are intended to help offset expenses related to such activities including, but not limited to;

  • travel/transportation expenses
  • professional attire
  • opportunity costs, (i.e. the need to give up a part-time paid job in order to take an unpaid internship.)
  • software/technology, material needs, not provided by employer/University, but essential to the experience. 
  • conference fees
If you are an ECON student with financial need that is preventing you from taking advantage of an unpaid opportunity, we encourage you to apply for BSOS Undergraduate Experience Funds. There are four funds that are specifically intended for ECON majors!

The best consideration date for Spring 2023 applications is Monday, January 16th by 11:59 PM.  After that date, applications will be considered on a rolling basis until funds have been exhausted.

Click here to apply. 

Before submitting your application, make sure to review the eligibility criteria.

Questions regarding the experience funds or the application process can be e-mailed to bsos-scholarships@umd.edu.
