Application Overview
The Altman Program Scholarly Engagement Grant Program is designed to promote scholarly activity that enhances successful completion of Altman Program curricular requirements, internationalized academic learning, and/or professional development.
Funding Amounts, Usage and Reimbursement
Scholarly Engagement Grants are funded on a competitive basis up to $500.00. Appropriate uses for the grant may include, but are not limited to: summer study abroad programs, required summer academic coursework, travel to/from academic conferences, travel to/from job interview sites that aren't reimbursed from the hiring firm, housing or travel expenses associated with unpaid internships.
Reimbursement of expenses related to airfare or housing during junior year abroad will not be approved with these funds. Students who receive the Summer Internship Award are not simultaneously eligible for the Scholarly Engagement Grant.
All funding is provided via reimbursement. Grant recipients should submit paperwork (i.e. detailed, itemized receipts) for reimbursement after completion of proposed project.

Please note that you must provide a detailed explanation of your use of funds and the benefits you will gain from your scholarly endeavor.
