However, many internship opportunities are unpaid, making them less accessible for many students. The Arts and Sciences and Harrington School Internship Fund offers $1,000 stipends for undergraduates participating in an internship. The funding can help to cover costs associated with transportation, professional attire, and food at the job site. It can also help to offset the need to work a paying job during the internship period.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<h2><strong>Eligibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Full-time, enrolled College of Arts and Sciences or Harrington School of Communication and Media students with sophomore, junior, or senior standing.<\/li>\n<li>Declared major in one of the academic degree programs within the college.<\/li>\n<li>Must be in good academic standing with a minimum GPA of 2.5 or higher.<\/li>\n<li>Internship must amount to a minimum of 120 work hours during the semester.<\/li>\n<li>Internship is located off campus, is connected to career goals, and takes place in the semester for which the internship fund application has been filed.<\/li>\n<li>Must be unpaid or underpaid (student receives pay amounting to $1,000 or less).<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrated financial need.<\/li>\n<li>Awards can be received up to two times depending on funding availability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Sign an agreement form.<\/li>\n<li>Write a thank you note to alumni donors.<\/li>\n<li>Interns may also be asked to assist in sharing content for marketing materials such as testimonials and photos for college news stories or to share their experiences with alumni in person.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Award decisions are based on<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Student application effectively explains how student will benefit from experience.<\/li>\n<li>Student application effectively explains how the internship aligns with a student&#8217;s career\/professional goals.<\/li>\n<li>Financial need.<\/li>\n<li>Priority is given to students who have not previously been awarded an internship stipend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT NOTICE: <\/strong>The stipend a student receives is treated as income and can impact your financial aid status at the University of Rhode Island.
