Question: How can I fund my summer opportunities, including research and internships?

There are several resources to help fund summer opportunities. Read below to see a few highlighted options or contact someone at the Career Center to get started! 

Apply for the Summer Internship Funding Awards  to make unpaid (or underpaid) opportunities more financially possible. Experiences lasting a minimum of 8 weeks & 240 hours are eligible for $2500, and a minimum of 10 weeks & 400 hours are eligible for $4000.  Apply as soon as possible, as funding is first come first serve.
The Faulty Student Collaborative Grant funds summer collaborative research between Colorado College faculty and students. Individual grants of $4,800 will cover one research student’s fellowship stipend (8 weeks). Student researchers conducting less than 8 weeks of research will receive a fellowship stipend of $600/week. Please contact Lisa Schwartz for more information.  
Check out other scholarships and grants  that can help you fund research or coursework at the undergraduate level and can vary by department.
