The UVA Parents Program provides Student Enrichment Fund grants to current undergraduates who lack the resources to participate in professional development and academic enrichment experiences, such as J-Term classes, studying abroad, extracurricular program fees, conferences, and internships.
Student Enrichment Fund grants are considered on a rolling basis and are contingent upon the availability of funds.
