College of Global Futures Student Experiences Fund
Learn more about your impact
Your gifts to this fund create educational experiences that are rewarding and transformative and prepare students to succeed in the global economy. Students who aim to solve global issues need to have a real understanding of what those issues are. Those who learn about challenges first-hand and engage with people cross-culturally gain a wealth of advantages that shape them into global problem-solvers.
Experiences can include, but are not limited to up to:
- A study abroad program or a Global Intensive Experience course
- Applied research on an important global futures issue in another state or country
- An unpaid internship with a non-profit organization
- A conference or workshop that focuses on topics related to a student's degree program
- Professional development upskilling, training or certification
Experiential learning opportunities expand a student’s knowledge and help them gain a broader perspective. Give today and your gifts will enable students to generate real solutions for a more habitable planet.
My scholarship-funded experiential learning opportunity was truly transformative. From conducting hands-on sea turtle monitoring to engaging with local fishing communities in La Paz, I gained an unparalleled perspective on the delicate balance between marine ecosystems, sustainable fisheries and community-driven conservation.”
