Please see the email below for several key opportunities and events coming up with the Center for Career Development.
Applications for the Impact Internship Grant are open! The Center for Career Development has an exciting opportunity for students completing unpaid or very low stipend internships in an impact area (non-profit, social service, educational
institution, or environmental organization just to name a few).
If you have secured an internship for the summer of 2019 with an organization that has a positive social or environmental impact, then please consider applying for the
Impact Internship Grant. The grant is designed to help alleviate some of the financial strains that can come along with completing an unpaid internship. For more information about the grant and directions for applying, please visit
http://bit.ly/UTImpactIntern. Just as a disclaimer, if you are completing an internship, practicum, or placement as part of your academic program or major, those experiences are not typically eligible for the grant. However, if you are completing an internship
outside of or in addition to your major requirements, you would be eligible to receive funding.
