The Continuing Career Education Fund supports recent Dickinson graduates who need additional training or skill development to achieve their career goals. Through a thorough application process, eligible alumni may receive a one-time grant to help cover the cost of virtual or in-person courses, certifications, or professional development programs that build career-related skills.
The fund is designed to help alumni who discover, after graduation, that additional technical or professional competencies are needed to pursue employment opportunities in their chosen field. Funding may be used for programs that develop hard skills, help prepare for advanced degree programs, and enhance career readiness.
Eligibility
Applicants must:
- Be a Dickinson alumnus/a within one to two years of graduation.
- Demonstrate how the proposed training or coursework will support their employment goals.
Priority consideration will be given to alumni who, within one year of graduation, have been unable to secure full-time employment, enroll in graduate or professional school, or engage in full-time volunteer or military service.
How to Apply
Applications will be open during limited periods of time in November, April and June.
