The Career Development Team is committed to providing equitable access to opportunities by providing financial assistance to students who do not have the resources needed to participate in experiential education. The purpose of the Opportunity Fund is to enable students who have already made significant investments in their Belmont education to persist, complete an internship, work toward their career plan, and graduate.
The Opportunity Fund application for the summer semester will be open in May 2024. Funding is limited and designed for students enrolled in internship courses who have been unable to find a paid internship for the summer semester.
