Unpaid Internship Support Scholarship

As a point of access, the Experiential Learning Center hopes to make completing an unpaid internship more possible for students through the Unpaid Internship Support Scholarship. It is available each semester; fall, spring, and summer.

Award Packages

Students can apply for up to $4,500, depending on the number of hours they’re expected to complete at their internship during the semester.

Application

The scholarship application opens for each cycle prior to the start of the semester and closes on Census Date. Students will be notified within two weeks of the application closing date.
