The Experiential Learning Fund plays a crucial role in supporting hands-on learning experiences that engage students in place-based inquiry, offer diverse exposure, and enhance study opportunities both in Montana and beyond. It has helped fund field studies in iconic locations like Yellowstone Park, providing students with invaluable, real-world learning. Research shows that experiential learning not only deepens understanding but also increases student commitment to completing their degrees. By showing students what is possible, this fund helps them better understand their place in Montana and the world, empowering them to succeed both academically and personally. Your support will continue to make these transformative experiences possible.

Doubling our current budget to reach a goal of $5,000 will greatly amplify our ability to provide impactful, hands-on learning experiences for students. Each contribution moves us closer to making a lasting difference, enabling us to offer more field studies and transformative opportunities. With your support, we can unlock the full potential of this fund, helping students engage deeply with their education and empowering their success both inside and outside the classroom. Any additional funds raised above the goal will go directly back into the program to further enhance the student experience.
