Students
involved in unpaid internships are eligible for
Alumnae and Donor Sponsored Internship Grants that
become available at the beginning of each semester
and are awarded on a competitive basis. Award amounts
range from $500 to $2,500 depending on the time
period, merit of the internship, and available funding.
Some grants are open only to students pursuing internships
in specific fields (i.e. public service, medicine,
or the arts); others are more general in scope regardless
of the applicant's career interest or major. When
submitting an application students apply in general
to the program and will be considered for all grants
for which they meet the eligibility requirements.
Qualifications:
Barnard sophomores, juniors and seniors in good
academic standing are eligible to apply for funding.
Seniors are not eligible for summer funding and
first-year students may apply for summer funding
only. Previous internship grant recipients may apply
for second grants but will be considered only after
initial decisions for funding have been made. Funding
is not available for internships with political
campaigns.
