Internship Grants
Students wishing to complete an internship may apply for an internship grant funded through the Mary Lou Fulton Chair in the College of Family, Home and Social Sciences and the Marjorie Pay Hinckley Endowed Chair in the Social Work and the Social Sciences. Individual grants up to $1,600 are available each academic semester, i.e. fall, winter, and spring-summer. These are competitive awards based on financial need, the quality of the internship, and the degree to which the internship helps support the applicant’s academic and career goals. Both current undergraduate and graduate students who are declared majors in one of the disciplines in the College of Family, Home and Social Sciences may apply.
Required Application Materials

Applicants may be considered for the grant without an internship offer having been confirmed. However, you must meet with the department internship coordinator and apply for or fill out a contract for an internship before you can apply for an internship grant.
