These projects, open to upper-class students, are usually carried out away from the campus. Though students doing such projects do not work under the direct supervision of a faculty member, their programs require a faculty sponsor. Credits earned through field experience or internship are non-graded and may be applied toward the graduation requirements. Field experience and internships may also be elected for January Program credit only, to be graded honors , pass , or fail . Applicants must be in good standing with the College, must be receiving credit for the internship, and must be able to demonstrate financial need.
Students receive the full amount of the grant in advance of the internship.
Grant recipients will be required to submit a written evaluation of their internship within one month of the termination of the internship. Grants will be awarded by the Special Internship Awards Committee. Students may obtain application forms for the grants from the Career Services Office. The application requires a description of the proposed internship and an explanation of how it relates to the applicant's academic program. A budget and description of other sources of support should accompany the request, as well as a brief letter of endorsement from the faculty sponsor of the proposed internship.
