SEE-Beyond Awards invite students to explore new techniques, technologies, or modes of inquiry or expression; to apply their academic-year learning to real-world challenges; and to clarify the interrelationship between their educational and post-baccalaureate goals. Awards may be used to support field or laboratory research, internships, artistic residencies, workshops, apprenticeships, or productions. [Read more.]

SEE-Beyond offers intensive summer learning opportunities

With support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, 21 Skidmore students this summer are applying academic theory to real-world challenges in such far off places as India, China, Nicaragua, and Taos, New Mexico.

“By expanding funded opportunities beyond internships to include support for collaborative research, artistic apprenticeships and workshops, and other forms of engagement, SEE-Beyond attracts applicants from all academic areas. The $4,000 stipend, too, encourages them to think big…to craft an experience uniquely tailored to their educational goals.”
