We are thrilled to announce that money has been allocated to provide financial assistance to students pursuing internships during the spring 2024 or Summer 2024 semester. Each student is eligible to receive up to $950 in the spring semester. This funding can be used for general living expenses, professional attire, and transportation costs. Students participating in summer internships can receive up to $1,700. This funding can also be used for general living expenses, professional clothing, and transportation as well as costs associated with housing or rent. This initiative is a testament to SUNY’s commitment to enhancing the educational experience of our students by providing them with real-world, hands-on opportunities that align with their academic and career goals.
Internships play a crucial role in students' overall development, providing them with practical insights into their chosen field and helping them bridge the gap between academic knowledge and professional application. By participating in internships, students gain valuable skills, industry exposure, and networking opportunities that significantly contribute to their personal and professional growth.
I am also asking for your assistance to support this initiative.
Inform Students
If you know of any students who are interested in or are pursuing an internship for the spring or summer semester, please inform them of this opportunity. They can apply for this funding by completing an online application in Bengal Connect.
Looking to Host an Intern?
If your office would like to host an intern for the spring and/or summer, please complete this online form. This is a great opportunity to have an undergraduate student work on a special project or initiative. Many of our students do not have access to transportation, so on-campus experiences will ensure that more students have access to this opportunity. Please email Maureen Huber, associate director of CAPE, with questions about hosting an intern.
The Career and Professional Education Center (CAPE) is available to help students create their résumés, cover letters, and any other professional documents needed to apply for an internship.
Please contact Denise Harris, director of CAPE, with general questions.
