NEW PROGRAM: 100% Engagement: Summer Interns Scholarships
There are great summer internships out there but many are often un-paid or underpaid. Internships are a great way to gain experience, build your professional network and help you define your career goals. We don’t want you to miss out on all of that because it would be hard to manage financially.

The 100% Engagement: Summer Interns Scholarship is designed to help you get the experience you need while providing you with the financial support to do it. In addition, you’ll receive access to resources that can help you strategize your search, prepare your resume and cover letter and much more.
