Experience ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø (EV) is a student-led, university-supported initiative that provides undergraduate students who qualify for need-based financial aid with funding for extracurricular activities that have fees.
These extracurricular activities include student organizations, club sports, arts and cultural experiences, service trips, outdoor recreation trips, Greek Life, or any official ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø student organization that has fees associated with participation. EV awarded almost $800,000 for the 2024-2025 academic year through a confidential application available on AnchorLink and a random selection process. Applicants are eligible to receive up to $600 for one of their three ranked experiences. Students also have the opportunity to apply for the EV Event Pass of $100, which can be used to purchase tickets for on-campus events.Â
2025-2026 academic year applications will reopen at the beginning of the academic year for all ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø students.
