This is your guide to summer internships. Check out the programs and opportunities below. Reach out to cas.internships@uvm.edu with any questions or set up an appointment with our team on Navigate.
Summer Internship Scholarships
As soon as you apply for an unpaid internship, make sure to apply for funding! Each year, CAS awards ~50 students with up to $4,000 to help cover living expenses while they complete an unpaid internship opportunity. This is a competitive process, so please make sure to fill out the application carefully and thoughtfully.
UVM Summer Programs
These for-credit programs run during the summer months and will help you find the opportunity that’s right for you.
Global Career Accelerator
UVM has partnered with Podium Education to offer the 4-credit, online Global Career Accelerator: a program in which you will tackle real-world problems while learning an in-demand technology skill in one of five tracks: Digital Marketing, Web Development, Data Analytics, Coding for Data, or Career Rotation.
The Washington Center
Live in the Global City and participate in a 32hr/week internship gaining career-forwarding skills and engaging with a national network of peers and alumni – all while earning 12 UVM credits!
Shepherd Higher Education Consortium on Poverty (SHECP)
SHECP interns are matched with an nonprofit working on issues of poverty and social justice that best fits their interests, and participate in full-time volunteer work for eight weeks in multiple urban, suburban, and rural areas across the country.
MAZON – A Jewish Response to Hunger
MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger is a national advocacy organization working to end hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds. Each summer we are able to support one student for a paid internship opportunity working with MAZON in their D.C. or Los Angeles office.
