If you pledge to do something cool, we pledge to cover the rest.
You can study in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, or South America (sorry Antartica). The world is becoming increasingly interconnected. We pledge that you will have the opportunity to spend a semester learning more about it.
You will get real-world, hands-on, career-shaping experiences during an internship or research assistantship. We pledge to give you an opportunity to spend a summer gaining a better understanding of yourself and the gifts your have to offer.
Do your part, and we pledge that you will graduate in four years. If not, Sewanee will provide up to one additional year of study tuition-free. Are other schools promising you that? We didn’t think so.
Sewanee typically provides more than 250 students with nearly $600,000 in funding for unpaid internships and research assistantships each summer. This support allows Sewanee students to gain the experience, the skills, and the connections they need to help them succeed right out of college. In fact, our graduates often secure positions as a direct result of their position or through a network developed during the summer. What’s more, as part of the Sewanee Pledge, every new Sewanee student is guaranteed access to one summer opportunity during their four years.
