Are you a Rubenstein student pursuing an unpaid or underpaid, credit-bearing internship or research experience? Do you want to apply for funding to support you in that work? If yes, consider submitting an application to the Rubenstein School Internship Fund which made possible by multiple donors who support student experiential learning within the Rubenstein School.

Application Instructions

Submit the documents listed below, by email, to Meghan.Young@uvm.edu
