Every spring, in a competitive process, Bowdoin Career Planning gives out awards to students its pool of grant funds. These funds, which have been set up by donors, allow students to pursue diverse work experiences while not worrying about money. The student recipients choose where and for whom they will work, and end up at both nonprofits and for-profits, or pursue their own projects.
