  • Internships can be at for-profit or non-profit organizations
  • International students are eligible, and should consult with International Student Services to discuss necessary steps regarding Curricular Practical Training (CPT).
  • The program is meant not only to facilitate internships financially, but also to provide a supportive program and event infrastructure for students to develop skills and relationships with other students, alumnae, employers, and more.
  • All internship grants are funded through the generosity of alumnae donors and philanthropic institutions.

  • Students may only submit one application per grant cycle (Fall/Spring/Summer)
  • It is imperative that you disclose on your application all information pertaining to whether or not you will be paid by your internship and the amount (this includes “in-kind” compensation such as MetroCards, meals, etc.) Any false information on the application may result in recovery of the full grant amount.
