Summer Internship Grants
Students enjoy a reception with donors Stephanie Fowler and Irving Levin.Internships are a great way to gain practical experience in your field of interest regardless of whether or not you are getting paid. In fact, unpaid internships can offer you the opportunity to work for organizations that are meaningful to you, but that cannot afford to pay you due to limited resources. The Career Development Center understands that supporting yourself during an unpaid internship can be challenging. But don’t fret…we’re here to help! Our summer internship grants can help subsidize your unpaid summer opportunity.
Most employers expect recent graduates to have at least one quality internship experience. However, many internships are unpaid, forcing students to choose between wages or experience. The following opportunities were created in order to provide funding to Lewis & Clark students who demonstrate a financial need. These awards enable students to pursue important academic and career options even in fields that do not traditionally provide internship stipends and in locations where travel and living expenses represent a financial burden.
