At Bluffton we offer several opportunities for you to delve deeper into a field of interest.
- The Schultz Discovery Grant for Vocational Exploration gives you a break from wage work for part of the summer to create an experience that allows you to consider new vocational possibilities. This is an opportunity for you to dream a little!
- The Ministry Inquiry Program gives you the opportunity to experience first-hand what ministry is for 11 weeks in the summer. Working under the supervision of an experienced pastor, you will be involved in many aspects of a minister's life and work. A $2,000 scholarship is then given towards fall tuition.
- The Women's Council, an organization of Bluffton alumni, provides Professional Enrichment Grants for Women. Full-time junior, senior or fifth-year women are eligible to apply for grants to obtain professional experience in an anticipated career. For example, a grant could be awarded to cover the registration fee of a professional conference or experience.
- Friesen Discovery Fund for Business Students provides funds for research, travel or professional development to business studies students.
- Pi Delta Society annually funds a wide array of student research projects, ranging from conference fees to departmental honors research through the Pi Delta Research Grant. These awards are to be used to cover expenses beyond the routine costs of a course (e.g. travel to conferences, copies, inter-library loan, computer time, etc.).
