Courtney Wentzel receives Real World Experience Award

2016 Dec 8

Courtney Wentzel of Oley, Pa., is one of 37 Alvernia students among the second class of Real World Experience Award recipients this fall. A Sophomore studying Nursing at Alvernia, Wentzel will use award funds to Study Abroad in Ireland, over the summer.

The new awards are provided through the university's Real-World Experience program, geared to expand students' access to experiential learning opportunities in all academic areas.

Students applying for Real World Experience Awards receive up to $2,000 to support participation in a variety of opportunities, including Alvernia's Washington Center program, undergraduate research, studying abroad, distance internships, alternative break experiences and service-learning. Importantly, the awards will not reduce the amount of any financial aid students already receive.
