Applications for BSOS Spring Undergraduate Experience Funds Opening Soon!

 CCJS@USG students are eligible to receive these funds!

Applications for BSOS Spring Undergraduate Experience Funds Opening Soon!

If you are a BSOS student with financial need that is preventing you from taking advantage of an experiential learning opportunity, apply for BSOS Undergraduate Experience Funds. Applications will open in December 2022. 

Applications for unpaid spring 2023 semester experience will be considered on a rolling basis between January 9, 2023 and January 25, 2023 or until funds have been exhausted. 

Eligibility Requirements:

• Submit a complete application (all questions answered) by the Best Consideration Date is January 9, 2023.
• Have completed at least one semester (fall 2022 or earlier) at the University of Maryland.
• Have at least one semester (spring 2023 or later) left as a student at the University of Maryland.
• Be enrolled in a BSOS major or an ENSP, NEUR, or SDSC major track housed within the BSOS College.
• Notifications will be sent on a rolling basis for those that apply by the "best consideration" date. Applicants who apply after the best consideration date can expect to receive a response the following Friday after application has been submitted. 
  All recipients will be asked to submit a Thank You video, which will be shared with the donor(s) of the fund you are receiving. Questions regarding BSOS Undergraduate Experience Funds or the application process should be directed to bsos-scholarships@umd.edu.
• Complete the learning experience for which you apply in spring 2023. If you choose not to complete the experience, you must notify the Selection Committee (bsos-scholarships@umd.edu) and the funds will be rescinded.

 

These funds assist undergraduate BSOS majors engaged in experiential learning outside the classroom, such as unpaid internships, research, service-learning, and professional or academic virtual conferences. The funds are intended to help offset expenses related to such activities including, but not limited to:

• travel/transportation expenses
• professional attire
• software/technology, material needs, not provided by employer/University, but essential to the experience. 
• conference fees
• opportunity costs, (i.e., the need to give up a part-time paid job in order to take an unpaid internship.)

If you are a BSOS student with financial need that is preventing you from taking advantage of an unpaid opportunity, we encourage you to apply for BSOS Undergraduate Experience Funds.

Spring 2023 experience applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning January 9, 2023 and through the month. Funding will be allocated on a rolling basis, based on the availability of funds. 

Before submitting your application, make sure to review the eligibility criteria.

Additional Information:

• Preference in selecting awardees will be given for activities where financial obstacles would likely prevent a student from participating.
• Preference will be given for unpaid experiences in not-for-profit, government, or educational organizations, rather than in for-profit companies.
• Preference will be given for NEW, rather than continuing, experiences (i.e., starting a new internship, as opposed to continuing in a position from a previous semester or summer).
• These funds are NOT designated for study abroad experiences.  Visit the Education Abroad Scholarships page to learn more about study abroad funding.
• Students may apply for funding for more than one learning experience per application cycle, but may only receive funding for one experience.
   

These BSOS experiences are generously supported by the following funds:

• The Anthropology Student Experience Fund 
• The Dean Gregory F. Ball Student Experience Endowment
• The Beardsley Family Endowed Student Experience Fund
• The Dr. Jack Blanchard and Dr. Melanie E. Bennett Student Experience Endowment
• The Taylor and Brandon Cole Student Experience Endowment 
• The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences (BSOS) Student Experience Fund
• The Dean's Student Advisory Council Unpaid Internship Scholarship

• The Robert R. Satterfield LGBTQ+ Opportunities Endowed Fund

AgeTech Hackathon

Friday, December 9th, 2022

10:00 am - 2:00pm

Building IV, Room 1201

$5,000 top prize!

The aging care industry is one of the fastest growing in the United States as the baby boomers begin to represent an increasingly larger segment of the elderly population. Addressing this issue, the students will form an interdisciplinary collaboration to envision and create an exhibit of technologies that support older people in their homes.

The Hackathon is presented by University Startups, The Entrepreneurship Lab at USG, and in collaboration with iTAP (Information Technology for the Aging Person) from the College of Information Studies (UMD iSchool).

What is a hackathon? Normally, a hackathon is an event in which a large number of people meet to engage in collaborative computer programming (Hacking marathon). In our case, we apply the word "hack" to mean the creative process and thinking innovatively. Therefore, no technical experience is required! Each team will be asked to think about the prompt, create a solution in the time allotted, and then create a presentation featuring a prototype. Each team will present its solution to the judge. 

Register here as a team or individually. All majors are welcome.

We are inviting individuals who identify with a gender, racial/ethnic, or another identity which, historically, has not been dominant in receiving entrepreneurship support.
