ExEd Fellows

The Office of Experiential Education (ExEd) invites applications for the semester-long ExEd Fellows Program designed to foster the development of ExEd courses and projects, as well as strengthen collaborative efforts and outcomes with external partners.  Faculty (including non-tenure track), lecturers, staff, and graduate student instructors in West Lafayette and Indianapolis seeking to implement an experiential education course or project in the 2025-2026, or 2026-2027 academic year are encouraged to apply. Up to $2,000 is available per project and projects or courses must involve an external partner (community partner, industry partner, etc.).  However, fellows do not need to have their external partners identified in order to apply or participate in the fellowship. 

This fellowship is ideal for faculty or staff who are new to experiential education and interested in starting a new experiential education course or project, or those who have already engaged in some experiential work and wish to deepen their pedagogical skills.  The purpose of the ExEd Fellows program is to: 

• foster the development of experiential education courses and projects
• strengthen collaborative efforts and outcomes with external partners (community, industry, etc.)
• elevate experiential education courses and pedagogy at Purdue University
