International Internships

• Any international travel supported by UVM requires prior approval by Office of International Education; to start this process send your travel dates and the city/country you are traveling to travel.study@uvm.edu.
• International internships that are not approved will not be eligible for funding; it is therefore essential that you begin the approval process before applying for the scholarship.

Apply through Scholarship Manager

The application will ask for

1. Expected project(s), deliverables, or work for this internship.   
    
2. Clear, specific, learning goals for your internship experience relating to:
   • job-specific skills you'll develop
   • ways you'll apply your academic learning
   • transferable skills (those that could be used in any professional position) 
      
3. Reflections on how these goals will challenge you and facilitate learning.

College of Arts & Science Students must apply through the CAS website.

A committee of staff and faculty members will make the final decision on the dollar amount and recipient(s) for each award. 

If you are awarded funding and decide to intern at an organization different from what you detailed in your application, you will be asked to submit an updated scholarship application. The committee will review your updated application and decide if: 1) your internship is still fundable at the original level; or 2) your award needs to be adjusted or withdrawn. 

Available awards - your application will be considered for all relevant funds:

•  McAneny Internship Fund
  Available to students doing a broad range of internships
   
• Samuel Fishman Memorial Fund 
  Available to internships in government, policy, public service, or a non-profit organization
   
• UVM Internship Scholarship Fund 
  Available to all students and internships
   
• Caruccio Business Internship Scholarship 
  Available to Grossman School of Business students (preference given to those interning in Vermont) 

Additional Scholarships are available to CAS students - please visit the CAS intern site to learn more.

• All scholarship recipients are required to be enrolled in UVM during the session when the internship occurs. If you do not want or need credit, we suggest the $110 SINT summer internship credit option.
• Awardees must provide an email from the internship employer confirming the internship offer after being granted an award.
• Upon completion, awardees will be asked to submit a video or written reflection addressing how the internship helped them grow and think about their career options. These reflections help fellow students see the value of interning & help donors see the value of supporting intern scholarships.
• All interns are encouraged to enter the Experiences Photo contest in September and will be eligible for great prizes! See past entries.

NOTE: Scholarships can help defray the costs of living for students, award funds are not wages or compensation for hours worked. There may be financial aid and/or tax implications for awards. If you have questions about the impact of a scholarship, please consult with the Student Financial Aid office or your tax professional.
