Help Alleviate the Burden of Unpaid Internships
The Binghamton University Student Affairs Internship Fund allows students with financial
needs to apply for up to $5,000 to offset the costs associated with completing unpaid summer internships. The Fund
enables access to valuable, hands-on experiences all over the world that students
could not otherwise afford. These experiences make students more marketable for post-graduation
jobs, and help them make informed decisions about their careers.
The annual goal is to double the number of students with unpaid internships who receive
funding through this program. Previous internship sites include SUNY Upstate Medical
University, University of South Florida, Crohn's & Colitis Foundation, Broome County,
Make a Wish Foundation and Binghamton ACHIEVE.
In the summer of 2022...
36 students were awarded funds.
Amounts ranged from: $1,000 - $5,000
