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. All first-time, matriculated Rutgers–Camden undergraduate students with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher may request a one-time use of up to $3,000 for these purposes. Be sure to take advantage of this and make the most of your time as a Scarlet Raptor!
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!
