Experiential learning support

CESR has a limited pool of funds available for degree-seeking Leeds students to support expenses associated with experiential learning opportunities related to sustainability and social impact. We strive to make experiential learning opportunities accessible to all degree-seeking Leeds students.

  • We will accept applications once per semester. See the form below for important information regarding deadlines and fund dispersal dates.
  • Applications from students participating in a CESR MBA Pathway, the SRE Certificate or the SRS Track/Emphasis will receive priority consideration.
  • We understand that every student’s financial situation is different. Since there may not be enough funding to support every application, our intention is to prioritize applications from students who wouldn’t otherwise be able to participate in these activities.
