Expanded Eligibility, Global Field Experience Financial Award Program

To ensure that faculty and students are supported during times of uncertainty, the award criteria for the GFE award has been expanded to include the consideration of “glocal” experiential opportunities. Please see the revised criteria below:

• GFE Financial Awards provide supplemental funding to support Rollins student summer field experiences in low- and middle-income countries.
• NEW: GFE Financial Awards may also provide supplemental funding to support “glocal” summer field experiences. In this case, these are experiential learning opportunities in the United States that work alongside unserved, underserved, or marginal populations.
  • As an example, a student could be funded for creating and implementing capacity building programs for organizations that work with refugee communities in Clarkston, GA.

• Projects that do not have any interaction with global or glocal communities will not be considered for this award. 
  • As an example, a student will not be funded for analyzing program data for an organization, if the student will not be interacting directly with the communities they are serving.

GFE Applications are due on Friday, March 14, 2025. For more information and application instructions, visit the webpage linked here.
