McGowan Family Endowed Fund for Experiential Learning

This scholarship awards financial assistance to eligible students who are engaged in internships in Winter or Spring quarters. There is one scholarship at $2300. Priority is given to students seeking support for an unpaid internship, but students with paid internships may apply. Priority will be given to students who have not received an LAS Community- and Project-Based Learning Internship Scholarship, BUT students who have received that scholarship are still eligible for this award. The internship need not be related to the historical profession, but only History majors, History minors, or History M.A. students may apply for the award. All awards are issued as scholarships to the student’s tuition account and are treated as financial aid. If a student has a deficit on their tuition bill, this award will clear that deficit first. However, any disbursement or refund issued to the student because of this award, may be used to support other needs such as travel, food, rent and educational or living expenses. Please speak with Student Accounts to confirm what impact this will have on your tuition account and how money will be disbursed if there are no current tuition charges.
