    The Center for Global Engagement offers merit-based grants of up to $1,000 toward the cost of airfare for specific summer international URSF experiences. These grants are intended to foster and support a wide range of innovative ideas and activities that will enrich applicants’ knowledge and appreciation of other cultures, contribute to the international identity of the University of Richmond, and productively engage the community and organization where the project will be located.

    Grants will be awarded for students approved for research funding and for internships as part of the 4 UR-Affiliated summer international internships (Indonesia, Chile, Kosovo, and Southwark, UK).  Students must apply and be approved for a URSF program in order to be eligible to receive a Weinstein Grant. The Weinstein Grant can only be awarded for the same experience for which the student was awarded a fellowship. 

    It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that their intended travel location follows the University’s travel policy.  Proposed travel to countries with a US Department of State Travel Advisory Level 3 requires a travel petition and approval at least four weeks prior to planned travel. UR policy prohibits travel to countries with a Department of State travel advisory level 4. If a petition is required, students will be contacted by the Center for Global Engagement; funding for projects to level 3 countries is contingent upon approval of the petition. For further information, contact the Center for Global Engagement.

    Weinstein Grant applicants should answer the appropriate questions on the URSF application to be considered for the award.

    You may review the Weinstein Grant supplement or access a word version prior to applying. 

    Weinstein Grant applicants must submit the following at the URSF application link above:

    • At least one application to a UR Summer Fellowship program
    • Your unofficial transcript submitted as part of the URSF application will also be considered.
