Thank you for your interest in applying for funding through the Career and Civic Engagement Center for a summer internship. This is the Summer Funding Application for Self-Designed Internships.
Please provide us with some general information about your background and the unpaid or low-paying summer internship for which you are seeking funding. To learn about eligibility, please click here: Funding Program Eligibility.
Please note that the funding award of $4,500 (for full-time) will be taxed as is standard for any form of income, so the actual amount disbursed to you will be closer to $3600. The summer work experience is the foundation for your own personal development related to your future academic and professional goals.
IMPORTANT: Students can apply for a self-design grant for one unpaid or low-paying internship. Once you submit this form, you will receive an email confirmation with your application answers. All applications must be through this form and must be submitted by the deadlines listed above. No PDF versions will be accepted.
A complete application includes:
(1) This Self-Design Application Form
(2) A one-page resume, personal statement, and internship proposal that should be uploaded through this Self-Design Application Form. Students applying for approved international internships will submit an additional essay about your preparedness to live and work abroad through this form.
(3) An Organization Verification Form from your supervisor, the hiring manager/internship coordinator, or someone who will be working at your host site (Please send your organization this link to complete by the same deadlines)
