Summer Experience Stimulus Plan

In response to the disruption that Covid-19 has caused many of our undergraduate students here on the Homewood Campus, the Life Design Lab is offering students three opportunities to redesign your summer experience.
Thanks to the responses from over a thousand of our Homewood undergraduate students, the Life Design Lab has been able to strategize and implement a three-pronged support plan aligned with the greatest needs facing students looking to make the most of the summer ahead.
Design Your Experience Grant
At Life Design Lab, we know that immersive experiences are extremely beneficial and a valuable part of any life design journey. Immersive experiences provide excellent opportunities for students to deepen and gain a wide range of skills, build transformational relationships with individuals working in the field, and make connections between their classroom learnings and practical applications.
- Rising Sophomore, Junior or Senior Student
- Participating in an unpaid immersive experience e.g. internship, volunteer work, research, short-term or project-based work
- Special consideration given to Baltimore-area organizations
The deadline to apply is Sunday, May 31, at 11:55 pm.
Summer Experience Grant
Life Design Summer Institute Fellowship
The Life Design Summer Institute provides students with an 8-week course rooted in the principles of design thinking.
