Funding
Many internships are paid with the average intern receiving $15.99 per hour*. Some unpaid internships, however, provide professional experiences that are priceless. The short-term financial sacrifice of an unpaid internship can pay off heavily in the long run by getting outstanding work experience and excellent networking contacts.
Undergraduate Internship Grants ($500-$1,000) are available in two of our partner colleges. Click below for more details:
