About the Summer Experience Grant Program
The Summer Experience Grant (SEG) Program is a collection of summer funding sources that provide financial support for Cornell undergraduate students to complete summer unpaid or minimally paid career-related experiences. SEG supports students with living expenses, transportation, and travel so that these essential experiences are available to all of our students, who may otherwise not be able to afford them.
The selection process is competitive, as we receive a large number of high-quality applications for a limited amount of funding. We place a high priority on supporting students with financial need. Financial need includes those students from low-income backgrounds, experiencing a financial hardship, unique family situations, or experiencing a significant change in financial circumstances. The administration of the grant is coordinated by a committee of staff representing all college career offices.
