Career Opportunity Fund
Grants are now available from the Career Opportunity Fund. An Opportunity Grant is an additional resource provided by Career Readiness to offset the cost of career and graduate school exploration for students with financial need.
Expenses eligible for Opportunity Grants include but are not limited to:
All students are eligible for up to $1,000 of funding through the Opportunity Fund while enrolled at Sewanee (maximum over four years). However, funds are limited, and extra consideration will be given based on financial need, class year, and previous receipt of an Opportunity Fund. It is rare for the full $1,000 to be granted in a singular request.
Important details:
Sewanee Career Readiness hosts events that allow students to discover their strengths, explore potential majors and careers, and engage with alumni and employers.
Sewanee considers internships and research fellowships are a valuable and integral part of a field of study, an important way to get insights into a career field, obtain valuable professional experience, and develop new skills. To facilitate this, Sewanee offers funding to our students to provide stipends for unpaid internships and research fellowships. Why do an ordinary summer job when you can do a meaningful internship in your field of interest?
