You may be thinking- ‘this is great, but how can I afford to go to any of these events as a student?’ Lucky for you, Bentley University students have the opportunity to apply for the Delongchamp Family Fund! This is was established in 2015 to support undergraduate professional and co-curricular activities associated with studying sustainability and the triple-bottom line: people, planet, and profit. The fund was designed to allow students to explore opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach due to funding issues.  These include:

• Attending a conference,

• Going to a networking event,

• Taking an unpaid or a limited paid internship,

• Pursuing a research project, or

• Creating a public awareness campaign around sustainability.
