Finding Funding Sources
Recognizing the value of high-impact practices in student success, the College offers funding resources that students can apply for to support internships, research, study abroad, and conference participation.
The College of St. Scholastica offers an experiential learning fund with gifts from the Student Government Association, President’s Cabinet, and generous donations through Give to CSS Day. These funds will help increase equity and access to experiential learning activities at CSS.
Funds are awarded three times per year:
June 1 Deadline: Current Summer and Future Fall
September 1 Deadline: Current Fall and Future Spring
January 15 Deadline: Current Spring, Future Summer
Eligibility:
- Experiential activity must already be identified and/or secured
- Student must be actively enrolled in an undergraduate program at CSS
- Student’s cumulative GPA must be 2.0 or higher
