Internship Scholarship Program

The Internship Scholarship Program application closes on March 26, 2021.

The Internship Scholarship Program (ISP), offered by the Office of Career and Professional Development (OCPD), provides scholarships for career-related summer internships. Beginning in Summer 2019, the OCPD has provided unrestricted awards of up to $3,000 to offset the cost of professional internships that provide minimal or no compensation.

Students are eligible if:

They are a sophomore, junior, or senior with at least 30 credit hours completed and are in good standing with the University.
They plan to complete and have secured a summer internship that is at least six weeks in length and a minimum of 240 hours.
Their internship is oﬀ-campus and meets NACE internship guidelines.
They have not received an ISP award previously.

Applications will include the following:
