Students also can seek assistance with selecting off-campus study opportunities, implementing a job or graduate or professional school search or locating internships. Current career trends suggest that it’s important for students to participate in internships during college, as it broadens their experience beyond the academic world.

Regardless of need, however, all students can benefit from visiting the ACP office at any point in their college career. Staff members are available to help students clarify their career goals and establish a four-year plan that will enhance their success upon graduation.

 

Since 2003, Alma College students have been awarded 43 prestigious nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships, including 22 Fulbright scholarships. Alma’s Nationally Competitive Scholarship Committee identifies and nurtures exceptional candidates for postgraduate awards.
