BSOS Experience Fund Applications are Still Open for Spring 2024

 Apply today for BSOS Undergraduate Experience Funds!

 **Funds are still available for ECON majors for Spring 2024**

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 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.
