Summer Internship Scholarship

The Center for Community Engagement offers the Summer Internship Scholarship to increase student access to internships, support career preparation, and help offset potential financial hardships associated with a summer unpaid internship. This year, the Center for Community Engagement has partnered with the Career Center to nearly double the number of these $2,500 scholarships, available to students who demonstrate a financial need while enrolled in a summer 195CE course. At least eighteen scholarships are available, and potentially more funding to students who are supported by the Economic Crisis Response Team (ECRT), a multidisciplinary group of campus partners dedicated to supporting UCLA students experiencing a financial crisis.

Awardee responsibilities include:

• • All scholarship recipients are required to complete a 195CE internship course during the quarter the internship occurs. They must fulfill the terms of the 195CE contract successfully.
  • Recipients of internship scholarships are required to submit a short post-internship reflection of their experience along with a short video and photo.
    • The reflection will address how the internship helped you grow and how it affected your career trajectory.
    • Students who receive awards from donor-funded scholarships will be asked to write a thank-you note to the award benefactor.
    • The materials submitted will be used as testimonials for fundraising purposes.
  • Award recipients may also be invited to participate in Center for Community Engagement events or programs during the academic year in order to share about their summer internship experiences.
