Kylie Grabowski-Funk receives Real World Experience Award

2016 Sep 22

Kylie Grabowski-Funk of Wilimington, Del., is one of 10 Alvernia students among the first class of Real World Experience Award recipients this fall. A senior studying Nursing at Alvernia, Grabowski-Funk will use award funds to participate in a “Work the World” Mission Trip.

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.
