Summer Opportunities

The Lang Center student grant program mission is to empower students and their partners as they build, implement, and/or sustain impactful solutions to contemporary challenges. Our programs equip grantees to integrate theory, practice, and research throughout their internships, projects, or fellowships, including: preparing students for responsible, ethical action via academic coursework and co-curricular training; supporting students with human, social, and financial capital; and building dialogue and social networks with community partners.

There are four main types of summer opportunities funded by the Lang Center:

Regardless of which type of opportunity a student is applying for, advising is required. This is an important step to ensure that students have a clear understanding of requirements and expectations, are prepared for the application process, and can articulate how their proposed experience allows them to connect academics with action.
