Professional Experience Grants

Professional Experience Grants, or PEGs, provide funding to pursue professional experiences in the "real world." PEGs specifically help you afford career-bridging experiences like internships, study abroad, and faculty mentored research. These experiences get you involved in your career path while you learn about the world and work alongside colleagues and faculty members. To help offset some of the cost of participating in these experiences, Professional U offers the Professional Experience Grant.

To apply: log in below and complete the "Professional Experience Grant Application", note this is a separate application than the regular scholarship application. FAQ's and contact information can be found here.
Deadline: This application is not yet available, check back late May for more information.
