NOTE: For the remainder of the Spring 2019 semester, the CDC is no longer accepting applications for Susan Hirsch Schwartz Fund awards.

If approved, the SHS Fund will cover up to $150 for travel assistance, interview attire, graduate school test and application fees, and other expenses. All expenses must be preapproved by the Career Development Center.
No cash advances are permitted. You MUST submit proof of interview/networking meeting, funds must be spent and receipts forwarded/brought to the CDC within 30 days upon receipt of award approval.
Qualified students will be permitted to receive one award per year.
