The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences is currently accepting applications for the BSOS 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 conferences. The funds are intended to help offset expenses related to such activities like travel/transportation expenses, professional attire, and other opportunity costs (for example: the need to give up a part-time paid job in order to take an unpaid internship).

If you are an ECON major with financial need that is preventing you from taking advantage of an unpaid opportunity, I encourage you to apply for BSOS Undergraduate Experience Funds. There are two funds that are specifically intended just for ECON majors!
Applications for Summer and Fall 2019 experiences are due on May 10, 2019 by 9 a.m. Click here to apply. Before submitting your application, make sure to review the eligibility criteria.
