Skidmore Campus Viewbook

Almost four in five Skidmore students delve into internships, research, or experiential educational practices. For summer funded internships and collaborative research projects, hundreds of students receive grants to complete experiences that they otherwise could not afford. This past year, $10 million in government, foundation, alumni, and other funding supported this critical student work. The best part? Students can receive awards every summer they are at Skidmore, providing all students the opportunity to pursue their dreams.
