The Richmond Guarantee

Together, we make it happen.

Do you want a guaranteed fellowship to spend a summer developing leadership programs in London or interning with a clean water initiative? Or maybe you’re seeking funding to research trends in women’s healthcare, study malaria transmission in the Amazon, or train with professional dancers.

Whatever you’re looking for, Richmond helps you make it happen. 

With the Richmond Guarantee, every undergraduate student is eligible to receive a fellowship of up to $5,000 for an unpaid or underpaid summer internship or faculty-mentored research project.
