What: The Honors College summer enrichment grant provides an opportunity for Honors students to pursue intellectually engaging activities during the summer months. Activities eligible for funding include personal expenses related to study abroad, research, internships, and community impact projects. These grants can be used to cover housing, travel to study abroad or internship sites, food, and other living expenses. They do not cover tuition, course work, or the materials cost associated with research, nor do they provide stipends for work performed. Grant awards will range from $500 – $1000, depending on the number of proposals we receive and how well each proposal connects an applicant’s summer plans to their long-term goals. Applicants must be in good standing in the Honors College. Recipients will be required to present on their summer endeavors sometime during the 2019-2020 Academic Year.

Blank applications, which include detailed instructions, can be found in the Forms tab at the top of the Honors Hub. Questions may be directed to plasmatinc@cofc.edu.
