Philanthropy Education Program (PEP)
PEP (Philanthropy Education Program) is an experiential opportunity for students interested in learning more about the role philanthropy plays in funding higher education and non-profit organizations. Sponsored by the Steve Hicks’ Development Office, this is a yearlong learning experience during which students have multiple opportunities to acquire philanthropy-related skills and engage with the Development team, Steve Hicks School faculty, staff, alumni and donors.
Active participation in PEP will equip students with an understanding of development and experience in fundraising campaigns, donor stewardship and events.
Applications open on Monday, August 18th, 2024 and close on Monday, September 2nd, 2024 at midnight!
