Funding

Funded by a variety of different sources, Career Exploration and Development at Bowdoin offers grants and fellowships for students to pursue summer work experiences that would otherwise not be paid. These grants and fellowships are meant to help students develop valuable experience and skills in career areas of interest. In addition to summer internships, our students studying abroad in Russia during the academic year have often been able to combine internships with their regular academic coursework.
