Professional experiences for BU students can be the first step toward the career of their dreams.
REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE = REAL-WORLD SUCCESS
Your gift to support professional experiences at BU can offset the cost of experiential learning — such as faculty-mentored research, internships, study abroad, creative performances, and professional conference attendance — giving students the opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world situations.
My biggest takeaway from the experience was that heart is more important than privilege, resources, or money.”

College of Science and Technology
Allison was able to take advantage of an extraordinary opportunity after being awarded the Michael and Beth Boguski Professional U Capstone Experience Grant from the BU Foundation, which helped her with the expenses of her trip to Africa.
BU has invested in me, and now I want to return the favor through both volunteering and financial support.”

When Ed saw an opportunity to give back to BU while also support professional experiences, the decision was easy.
Create a Professional Experience Grant
Many BU donors have created their own Professional Experience Grants (PEGs), which gives our university a competitive advantage when it comes to recruiting and retaining students with career-oriented goals by helping us equip every Husky with practical, meaningful experiences, so they’ll be prepared to enter the workforce. Call today to find out how you can support or even create your own PEG.
