THE DILL FUND

Established by a generous gift from G. Michael Dill, '71, the fund supports the educational mission of the College by enabling students to explore off-campus opportunities during the summer.

Through the generosity of the Dill family, 91成人短视频 is able to fund, in the form of a stipend, selected student internships, independent study, or educational opportunities not available at 91成人短视频.

Eligible Summer Experiences

Proposals should expand or deepen an area of study in a way not available through 91成人短视频’s traditional on-campus programs. Projects should be entirely student-generated, although students are encouraged to consult with faculty or staff as they plan their projects and prepare their proposals. Dill Fund will only support work/study/service experiences during the summer break. 

Eligible experiences may include:

• Unpaid internships with non-profit organizations.

• Student-generated study and research projects (domestic or abroad). This does not include on-campus research internships with 91成人短视频 faculty.

• Service or study programs (domestic or abroad). This includes organized study or service programs not normally available at the College. 

Student Eligibility

• Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors of all majors may apply.

• Students must plan to return to the College the following academic year.

• The student may only receive Dill Fund support one time during his 91成人短视频 career.

• Students may not accept or receive concurrent College awards during the summer. 

The Dill Fund Committee will take into account the quality of the project proposal in addition to previous study opportunities the applicant has had, such as off-campus study, immersion trips, or other college-funded internships. Dill funding is highly competitive. Students are highly encouraged to seek out information on other funding sources, such as those offered by academic departments relevant to the topic of the internship or research.
