ICC — The latest opportunity for students looking to broaden their horizons this summer comes from Georgetown Office of Fellowships, Awards and Resources (“GOFAR”). The Slacker’s Grant will be awarded to one rising senior who plans to do absolutely nothing productive over the next summer.

Professor Lawrence Ricks, who oversees the fun, says he is looking for students who “lack that special drive.”

“We have identified a large group of students that we feel are underserved by the current array of summer fellowships and grants,” said GOFAR administrator Kathy Cahill. “Some of our students don’t want to be such try-hards all summer long.”

While organized and administrated by Georgetown, funding for the grant comes from a series of private donations who benefited from their time slacking over the summer.

“My time at Georgetown really helped me hone my procrastination skills,” explains one donor, who wished to remain anonymous. “I learned how to do the absolute bare minimum, and that’s paid off in the business world.”

Requirements for the grant include detailed proposals of planned Netflix binges, beach trip packing lists and a sworn statement against any academic pursuits.

“I’m really excited to apply for the Slacker’s Grant,” commented Nathan Baker (COL ’16). “If I’m going to be entering the job market soon, I think the best thing for me is to relax as much as possible.”

The Slacker’s Grant was offered last year, but was not awarded due to a lack of applications.
