Jewell's new Journey Grant is a distinctive experience providing the freedom and funding to truly make the college experience one-of-a-kind. Transformative experiences, academic pursuits and self-discovery embody the Jewell Journey we promise every student.

A Journey Grant encourages exploration, discovery, adventure and change. Students who entered William Jewell College in the fall of 2010 or later may apply for a self-designed grant such as a research project, study-away experience, entrepreneurial opportunity, internship, civic engagement initiative or service. Journey Grants will be a minimum of $2,000, with the opportunity for additional funds awarded on a competitive basis to support great proposals.

Where will your Journey Grant take you?
Journey Grants are meaningful because they are customized to complement each student's passion. The experiences that could be funded are limitless.
