Alvernia University's Real World Experience Awards are competitive awards of up to $2,000 to support student participation in enrichment experiences, such as:
- Study Away Experiences
- Non Domestic Service Learning or Alternative Breaks
- Credit-bearing Internships
- Undergraduate research
Applications are evaluated on a variety of criteria, including academic performance, extra/co-curricular involvement in the life of the university, and the degrees to which the proposed experiences will add to the students’ progress toward fulfilling our mutual aspirations for them to become ever more broadly educated life-long learners, reflective professionals and engaged citizens and ethical leaders with moral courage.
Real World Experience Awards do not reduce the amount of financial aid students have already been awarded.
