REAL program
Support research and internship opportunities for students


The REAL Program provides paid summer internship and research opportunities for students in the College of Arts and Sciences. Through this program—which stands for Real Experience. Applied Learning.—students can discover their interests, gain a rich understanding of a particular field, discern their career goals, explore future employment fields, and grow their professional networks.

More than 300 students across all majors have been funded since the program's inception in 2018. Placements range from non-profit and community service organizations to research labs, governmental organizations, and more.

Undergraduate research and internships are among the most valuable experiences for students and every gift to the REAL Program will have a direct and immediate impact. 100% of your support will go towards providing opportunities for students to learn and grow.
