Experiential Learning Scholarship Fund
The Experiential Learning Scholarship Fund (formerly the Research and Creative Scholarship Fund) supports Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ in participating in research, creative works, travel, internships, service, studying away or participating in professional development.
ELSF was created through a student referendum in 2015 that established a $1.00/Semester “Research Fee” that is housed within the ASUM Activity Fee. It is composed of student-fee dollars and annual contributions from campus partners - Experiential Learning and Career Success; the Office for Research and Creative Scholarship; and the Washington Corporation.
