LFC Career Advancement Center - Internship Funding Application

Students are required to have an internship secured when applying for the funding program. All students completing unpaid or underpaid Academic (for-credit) Internships are eligible to apply (with the exception of internships that are part of an off-campus study program, such as the In The Loop or ACTIVATE programs). Priority will be given to internships taken for credit and domestic internships.


Funding awards are largely based on financial need. Funding is meant to assist with the cost of only one unpaid or underpaid internship that a student would not otherwise be able to pursue, due to financial constraints. Funding is not available to cover expenses such as the cost of the credit, food, or housing expenses.


Funding is limited and not guaranteed. It is strongly recommended that students budget for internship-related expenses and pursue additional funding sources.
