We’re excited to announce that applications are open for our three on-campus internship programs for the 2025-2026 academic year.

These internships are designed to give students the opportunity to advance their professional and personal development while fostering marketable job skills.
All internships provide students with substantial work experience and are paid at a rate of $12/ hour with a maximum of 6 hours per week. All three internship programs have been funded by the generosity of alumni donors.
