Summer Experience Funding Highlight: Eloise Frick Cherven Fund

From now until the end of March, we will be highlighting various funds and summer internships available to students! Through the generous support of alumni and friends, Lawrence students are eligible to apply for funding to support summer internships or projects.

The Eloise Frick Cherven Fund

This fund was established in 1993 in memory of Eloise Frick Cherven, Lawrence University Class of 1976, by her family, friends, and classmates. Mrs. Cherven was a dedicated geology major who later earned a Master of Science degree from California State University at Los Angeles and forged a successful career in petroleum and environmental geology.

The fund supports student projects and research that pursue some line of investigation or other activity that would broaden their experience or knowledge, help others, and prove of future value. Projects in any area are eligible, though preference will be given to students majoring in or projects related to geology.

Priority Deadline: March 28, 2025
