Students: Use Bulldog Bucks for Uber

We want to give you as many choices as possible for getting around the Drake Neighborhood and exploring Des Moines. In addition to free rides on DART and the Safe Ride bus, and free access to the Drake Bike Library, you can now pay for Uber rides using your Bulldog Bucks!

Setup is easy:

1. Open the latest version of the Uber app.
2. Tap Payment, Add Payment, Campus Card, and Drake University.

This could be a great way to get around town during Relays week—feel free to add funds to your Bulldog Bucks online before you need them.

Harkin Institute D.C. Experience Scholarship

The Harkin Institute helps undergraduate students afford to travel to Washington for an internship through our D.C. Experience Scholarship.

This scholarship is designed to expose the student to policymakers and the policymaking process, much as Senator Harkin experienced as an intern for Congressman Neal Smith in the summer of 1969, an experience that inspired Senator Harkin to pursue a career in public service. Our scholarship covers the recipient’s housing accommodations and travel expenses.

If you’re considering interning in D.C. this summer, visit http://bit.ly/2jsWEFj to apply for our 2017 D.C. Experience Scholarship by April 4.
