The Engaged Learning Funds are an overarching group of funds designed to support the experiences students participate in throughout their time at Eckerd College. Made possible through the generosity of Eckerd alumni, families, and friends, these funds help remove financial barriers that may prevent students from participating in meaningful academic, professional, and experiential learning opportunities.
Funding amount: up to $3500
This funding is used to support internship experiences that take place off-campus, under the supervision of an external organization. If an internship will take place on campus, or under the supervision of a member of Eckerd’s faculty or staff, the applicant will need to explain how this situation will help him/her/them develop skills that will be applicable in other professional environments.
Funds may be used to cover travel, housing, and/or some personal expenses (such as food, professional clothing, or supplies necessary for the internship). They may not be used to fund any work completed for the internship or to replace lost wages from other employment. The student will be asked to provide a detailed budget and budget narrative explaining how requested funds will be used.
