SUMMER

For those of you who will be pursuing internships in the summer, the following are a few funding opportunities that you should investigate.

Mark and Pearle Clements Internship Awards

The Mark and Pearle Clements Internship Awards are intended to enable Syracuse University students to undertake unique summer internships that they have developed on their own initiative and that would not be possible to undertake without financial help. The objective is that students create their own internship, working under the guidance and supervision of an experienced professional who can help them explore opportunities that link theory with practice in their fields of career interest. You do not need to have secured an internship in order to apply. For more information visit the Clements Internship Awards website.
