2018 Jan 31

Rae-Anna Muise of Boston, Mass., is one of 50 Alvernia students who have earned Real World Experience Awards this winter. A Junior studying Nursing at Alvernia, Muise will use award funds to study abroad in Dingle, Ireland in summer 2018.

The 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.
