Summer Opportunities
- Swarthmore- Funded Summer Opportunities- Every summer, Swarthmore College offers students generous funding that allows them to engage in high-impact learning experiences. While some of these are jobs and therefore limited to students with work-authorization, many funded experiential opportunities are available to all students. Read on to learn more about these summer opportunities.
- Summer Housing - Undocumented students who need to stay on campus during the summer, whether for safety or for a particular summer opportunity, may apply for funds to cover the cost of on-campus summer housing. Meet with Dean Karen Henry to discuss details.
