Swearer Center for Public Service
iProv Summer Fellowship
iProv is a joint project of the Swearer Center and the Brown Center for Career Exploration. SPRINT (Summer/Semester Projects for Research, Internship, Teaching) serves as the umbrella application for funded experiential learning opportunities, including iProv, BrownConnect LINKs, and other awards.
Program Requirements
Students are part of a structured and supportive cohort that meets regularly to build skills and competencies for community engagement. iProv workshops will focus on topics such as critical reflection, cultural humility, civic engagement and effective leadership and action.
Eligibility
Only undergraduates enrolled during the spring semester and the fall semester following the summer iProv Fellowship experience are eligible. This includes all students regardless of citizenship and current location of study. Students on a leave of absence from Brown, either in the semester they are applying for or in the period when they will receive the funding, are not eligible.
Since the funding for fellowships is finite, students who previously received a SPRINT award remain eligible to apply to SPRINT Fellowships, but priority will be given to students who have not previously received SPRINT summer awards.
Funding
The base stipend for domestic SPRINT Awards is $2,500. In addition, students with Brown financial aid will automatically receive an additional Gap Award ranging from $2,000 to $3,000 based on their Parent Contribution/Responsibility as determined by the Office of Financial Aid, for a total award of $4,500 - $5,500.
Apply
The iProv Fellowship application opens every Spring in UFunds.
