CLA Undergraduate Internship Grant
PURPOSE:
Internships are great way to enhance your academic experience. The CLA
Undergraduate Internship Grant Program is designed to provide some
financial assistance to students participating in unpaid internships.
THE GRANT AWARDS: The following competitive $1200 awards are available:
- CLA Undergraduate Internship Awards: Several of these $1200 general grants are awarded each semester to CLA students
pursuing internships that relate to their major.
- Elden Johnson Award: This $1200 grant is designated for
a student who is working with public archaeology, museums or American
Indian Studies in some way.
- Paul and Lucienne Taylor Award:
These awards are supplemental monies ($600) to an English major doing a
writing-intensive internship. Eligible students who receive one of the general $1200 CLA Undergraduate Internship Grant awards may be
nominated by the CLA Undergraduate Internship Grant committee for these
supplemental funds. The English Department makes the final decision for this award.
After you turn in your application packet, you will automatically be considered for all grants for which you are eligible.
ELIGIBILITY: To apply, you must meet the following conditions:
- Be an already-admitted, degree-seeking student in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota
- Be of sophomore standing or above
- Have not previously received this grant
- Be already engaged in an internship or have been accepted into an internship position that meets the following conditions:
- You are completing or will complete a minimum of 120 hours of work at the site.
- You
have been assigned a supervisor at your internship site who will verify
your work hours and help ensure that you have a good internship
experience.
- Your work is off-campus and not directly connected to a University department/unit or to a University faculty/staff member.
- You
are not receiving a salary for your internship work. Small "perks" such
as occasional lunches, free tickets, parking privileges, etc., do not
count as salary. Modest stipends (less than $100 total) do not count as
salary either.
