Internship on Scholarship Program

The Internship on Scholarship Program offers on-campus and virtual internships geared towards undergraduate UConn students, regardless of citizenship status, hosted by UConn departments and supported via scholarship funds. This initiative is grounded in UConn’s commitment to provide every student with a life-transformative education.

A pilot of the Internship on Scholarship Program was launched during the Spring 2022 semester, and participating has proved meaningful for both students and host departments. Check out some testimonials below:

“I appreciate the work of the Internship on Scholarship Program. This last academic year, I was not only able to develop more of my leadership skills but I was also able to build relationships. Through this program, I have had the opportunity to learn new skills and had the chance to explore what I want to have as a career in the future.” Internship on Scholarship Student, Spring 2022

“My favorite part of hosting an Internship on Scholarship student this semester has been seeing their creativity flourish. Because we were not working within the context of our department’s typical student labor positions, we were able to explore cool new projects and learn together along the way. The student we hosted added such valuable insight to our team, and I will certainly be hosting more interns in the future.”  – Internship on Scholarship Host, Spring 2022
