Summer Funding
Depending on the amount and disbursement of your main source of funding, filling in the gap between the Spring and Fall semesters can be tricky. Fortunately, there are a variety of options. Some study abroad funding is designed to be used during the summer, and there are sometimes research assistantships available on a departmental or administrative level. Other options include teaching with University College or getting a part-time job on or off campus. Talk with your adviser and department administrator about what the best option for you might be.
