Honors Experiential Learning Award

The Honors College provides grants of up to $500 to defray the cost of educational travel, professional development, research, service, or other experiential learning opportunities. Examples include but are
not limited to presenting a paper at an academic conference, the costs of equipment and supplies for a specific project or participating in an alternative spring break service program. We welcome and
encourage students of all class years to apply. Students will be evaluated by class year, with awards made across different stages of study, from first-year students to seniors.

Applications are due by the 1st day of the following months: September, October, November, February, March, and April
Important: In order to receive this award, you must agree to present at the ELF within one year of being awarded

Please note that while the Honors College can sponsor expenses such as airfare and conference registration, it cannot pay for local travel expenses (rideshare or taxis), meals, and per diem or reimburse
students for expenses. The award is posted to the student’s myutsa account, and if the student has a balance on their account, the award will pay the balance first and then issue a refund for the difference. The Honors College must abide by federal regulations regarding financial aid, so there may be some cases in which an award cannot be provided based on the student’s existing scholarship package (ex., Student’s meeting their Cost of Attendance). For eligibility and other questions, please get in touch with the Honors College at honors.scholarships@utsa.edu.
