Apply today for BSOS Winter/Spring 2022 Undergraduate Experience Funds!

Posted: 07 Dec 2021 09:07 AM PST



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
  • relocation 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
For additional examples on the kinds of expenses that may be considered for funding, please click here.

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 2022 experience applications is Friday, December 17, 2022 by 12 PM. Funding will be allocated on a rolling basis, based on the availability of funds. This application will close on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 by 5 PM or when funding for Winter/Spring 2022 experiences has been exhausted.
