The Catawba Impact Award Program

Over the years, Impact program support has helped hundreds of Catawba students expand their horizons and build practical skills through faculty-guided research, creative work, service-learning, internships, and study experiences in the U.S. and abroad. These experiences connect what students learn in the classroom to applied learning beyond campus and are a defining part of the Catawba experience.

The Impact Award program is currently on hiatus while we retool it to help even more students access experiential learning by expanding access, reducing barriers, and increasing participation. Please stay tuned for Fall 2026 updates.
