Experience Fund Applications are Open for Winter/Spring 2024


Apply today for BSOS Winter/Spring 2024 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 expense
  • professional attire
  • software/technology, material needs, not provided by employer/University, but essential to the experience.
  • conference fees
  • opportunity costs, (i.e. the need to give up a part-time paid job in order to take an unpaid internship.)
This year there are three awards specifically for ECON majors:

  • The Gary L. Rozier Professional Experience Fellowships for Economics Majors 
  • The Peggy Rae and John Sapienza Scholarship Fund
  • The Robert R. Satterfield Economics Student Opportunities Endowed Funds

If you are a BSOS 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.

The best consideration date for Winter/Spring Experience applications is Friday, December 8, by 11:59 PM. Funding will be allocated on a rolling basis, based on the availability of funds.
