The Colburn Student Opportunity Fund, named for the former director of the Bob Graham Center, Dr. David Colburn, provides needs-based support to undergraduate students who have secured experiential learning opportunities in civic engagement, public leadership, effective public policy, and public service beyond the confines of the Alachua County community.

The application cycle is currently closed and will reopen again on January 26, 2026. The fund is open to all majors, regardless of UF college. Learn more.
