Student Opportunity Funds

The Student Opportunity Funds, administered by the Dean of 学生事务, are provided by generous friends and alumni of the College and by the President of the College.  The funds offer grants in support of worthwhile student co-curricular and leadership 倡议.  The amount of the award, usually between $200 and $250, is dependent, in part, upon the total dollars available for each semester.
