Information on How to Apply

Program Goals

The goals of the Summer Internship Funding Program are to provide students with opportunities to

apply their Bryn Mawr education in a meaningful work environment;
acquire professional experience through an internship or research opportunity;
gain a rich understanding in a field of interest;
connect their summer work to personal, intellectual, and professional goals;
access an internship or research opportunity that would be difficult to pursue without funding support.

Eligibility

Visit Program Eligibility to learn about what qualifies for internship funding through the Career & Civic Engagement Center.

Internships with a Research Component

The Career & Civic Engagement Center does fund not independent research projects, but will consider internship proposals with a research component linked to a supervisors or organizations research project.

A note regarding Fall semester research: In some instances, students may want to incorporate what they've learned during their summer into their academic work once back on campus. To do so, there may be instances where a student needs prior approval from the Bryn Mawr College Institutional Review Board. If this is of interest to you, please discuss with a faculty member in your major field this semester.
