Alvernia students earn Real World Experience Awards
Fifty Alvernia University students have earned competitive awards this fall to explore unique real world learning experiences. Funds are provided through the university’s Real-World Experience Award program geared to expand students’ access to experiential learning opportunities in all academic areas. Students applying for Real World Experience Awards receive up to $2,000 to support participation in a variety of opportunities, including Alvernia’s Washington Center program, undergraduate research, studying abroad, distance internships, alternative break experiences and service-learning. Importantly, the awards will not reduce the amount of any financial aid students already receive.
