Summer Opportunities

Summer Opportunities

While there is no official study abroad programming during the summer, funding for summer opportunities is available through different Swarthmore Offices — Consult the Summer Opportunities website for details. Alternate funding may also be available through study abroad programs or other external funding sources.

Many students apply for summer research grants to pursue research abroad. Students may submit proposals for field research, internships, archival research, creative arts, work in preparation or research leading to thesis preparation or honors preparation, faculty-student collaborative research, and independent research.  Under certain circumstances, students seeking special training and mentorship, or volunteer opportunities may qualify for a grant. Students must work with a faculty sponsor as part of the application process.  

If you are pursuing academic coursework or another credit-bearing activity, consult the Transfer Credit page, as well as your departmental website for details on the approval of potential transfer credits.
