Think of it as a $2,000 investment in your future.

Experiences like research or creative work, internships, community service, or study abroad allow you to apply what you learn in the classroom to hands-on, real-world situations. And these experiences help you gain the skills needed—to think critically and creatively, to communicate clearly, to adapt to new technologies, and to navigate today's interdependent and interconnected world—for success after Knox. That's the power of experience. 

We also believe that every Knox student deserves to participate in these transformative opportunities.That's why we created the Power of Experience Grant, which provides all incoming Knox students with up to $2,000 to support a qualifying experiential learning opportunity during their junior or senior year. The grant helps to fund the additional expenses that are often associated with research or creative work, internships, community service, or study abroad.

For instance, it can be used to help pay for travel to another country for a study abroad program, living expenses during an internship or summer research, or special equipment or supplies.

The Power of Experience Grant ensures that you can apply your knowledge to real-world experiences, empowering you to land your first job, get into graduate school, serve your community, or reach any goal you set for yourself after Knox.

4 Centers, Thousands of Connections, Millions of Possibilities

In historic Alumni Hall, we've brought together four centers that help you put the Power of Experience Grant to work—resources that send you around the world, help you make connections between theory and practice, and empower you to build a bold, brilliant future.
