Stipends for Internships
Stipends for Internships
Thanks to the generous donations of our alumni, the Magner Career Center is able to award close to 100 students with over $100,000 in stipends each year to fund their unpaid career experiences. We are among only 32% of colleges nationwide to offer an internship stipend program, readily available to both undergraduate and graduate students. In doing so, we aim to provide students with increased financial liberty to pursue exciting off-campus internships.
