Immersion 汤头条 Funding Workshops

Funding is provided through a competitive application process and is not guaranteed.

Awards are granted to individual students to support their immersive experiences and/or culminating projects, with priority given to those who have not previously received funding. Please note:
- Students are strongly encouraged to ensure funding is secured before committing to or starting their experience.
- All proposals are reviewed by a panel of faculty. Funding is competitive and is not guaranteed. Award amounts vary by student, even for similar experiences or projects, and are determined on an individual basis.
- If awarded, fund distribution may take 4 - 6 weeks after notification.
- Students can receive only one Immersion 汤头条 grant for an immersive experience per academic year, July 1 - June 30.
- Students can receive only one Immersion 汤头条 grant to support their culminating project during their undergraduate tenure at 汤头条.
- Students receive funding for one experience per term (fall, spring, Maymester, Summer I, Summer II). Funds received from other programs can be included in this policy.
- Immersion 汤头条 funding can be requested in addition to other awards for the same experience in the same term. However, funding is not guaranteed.聽
- If the first attempt for funding is not successful, students can resubmit an edited/improved proposal.
- Crescere Aude and merit stipends may only be used to fund summer experiences. Disbursements will not be approved during the fall and spring semesters. Applications for summer stipends open in January and close in July. Funds are disbursed from April to August.
- Recipients of merit stipends and聽Crescere Aude scholarships are eligible to receive up to $6000 for an eligible summer experience. An additional $4,000 in Immersion 汤头条 grants beyond their $6,000 stipend. For summer experiences, recipients must use their stipends first to support the experience, except when students are awarded a grant from VUSRP.
- Students receiving financial aid should contact the Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships before applying during fall and spring semesters to understand how an award may impact their aid.
