CHANCELLOR’S EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING FUND
Picture this: It’s your graduation day at Rutgers University–Camden. Your friends and family cheer as you walk across the stage to collect your diploma. You think of all the incredible experiences you had at Rutgers–Camden and where they led you. We want to make sure that you have all the tools to succeed both during and after your time with us. That’s why we’re extremely excited that you have access to the Chancellor’s Experiential Learning Fund.
At Rutgers–Camden, we know the value of hands-on education. Through the Experiential Learning Fund (ELF), you will receive funds that may be used to subsidize your participation in high-impact experiential learning activities like internships, research projects, and travel to academic conferences. For every 12 credits you earn, your ELF account will be credited with a specific amount of money based on the total number of credits that you have completed at Rutgers–Camden, up to a maximum of $3,000 once 72 credits have been earned. Check out the funding breakdown for more information on how you can take advantage of this!
Whether you use your ELF account to participate in a learning abroad course, supplement your income during an unpaid internship, or purchase supplies and materials for an independent project, you’ll make lifelong memories. We can’t wait to see what you accomplish!
