Wilkes University Honors Program students are encouraged to use their Enhancement Grants to fund participation in co-curricular opportunities such as undergraduate research and professional conferences, international study experiences, independent research, and unpaid internships.

Enhancement Grant Request Form

Questions about what type of funding is available to you should be directed toward the Honors Program, by a visit to the office (Stark Learning Center 120-122) or by email (jennifer.mclaughlin1@wilkes.edu). An Enhancement Grant can be used to support experiences such as international or domestic study-away, internships, or other opportunities beyond what your field of study requires.  Funding cannot be issued in cash, nor can it be used for Wilkes tuition or fees.
