Every Scholar Starts Somewhere

Students can accomplish inspiring things when they have funding to make it happen.  

The Office of Scholar Development created the Lifetime Experience (LTE) Grant to provide funding for students to strengthen their applications for national scholarships like these that can launch them toward their own academic and professional goals. 

You can get started on your long-term goal now. Selection committees for these opportunities look for talent, curiosity, determination, and a record of service and commitment to an ideal or cause. The LTE Grant aims to alleviate the financial barriers for these “once-in-a-lifetime” activities that contribute to national scholarship goals.
