Undergraduate Experiential Learning Awards provide funding of $100-$1,500 to individual students pursuing unique experiences outside of the classroom.
Experience. Discover. Explore.
Funding that opens doors to opportunities
OHIO Experience Funding
At OHIO we believe that your success is informed by the sum of your experiences, so we encourage you to put what you’re learning into practice – a lot. Many of your courses will feature project-based learning, but we also want you to explore opportunities outside of the classroom both on-campus and off-campus including research, signature experiential learning programs, internships, study abroad and more.
Through our OHIO Experience, Discover and Explore Awards programs, we are committed to helping remove financial barriers to expand your education and career preparation.
