Once
again, University Career Services (UCS) will be accepting applications for
financial assistance from students who have secured summer internships. Both
the Parents Committee Internship Grants and the Larry Simpson Internship
Scholarship provide funds to assist students in achieving their career-related
goals.
In
their ninth year of existence, Parents Committee Internship Grants
(PCIG) are merit-based and current 2nd and 3rd year
students of all majors are eligible to
apply. Applicants must have secured an unpaid summer internship in an area of
public service (i.e., civic engagement and public policy; economic and business
development; education, both K-12 and lifelong learning; environment, both
planned and natural; and health). This year we are pleased to offer grants of
$3,000 each to 16 students! Grant recipients keep a
journal throughout the internship process, and via the University Career
Services’ website, student experiences will be shared with the U.Va.
community. The application deadline for the grants is noon on Monday, April
1, 2013.
In
addition to the grants, UCS coordinates the Larry Simpson Internship
Scholarship. This scholarship is a $2,000 need and merit-based award
available to a rising 4th year in the College of Arts and Sciences
who has secured a summer internship in any career field. This scholarship
is generously sponsored by Betty Shotton, CLAS ’74 and honors Larry Simpson who
served as the first director of U.Va.’s career services office from 1968-1998. The
application deadline for the scholarship is noon on Monday, April 8, 2013.
