This program is available based on available grant funding. Students must be enrolled for the semester in which they are completing their unpaid internship.

Selected participants will receive:

• Hourly pay of $20.00 per hour

If selected, students will work with TWU’s Human Resources Office to complete all new hire paperwork.

Students will need to meet the minimum of 8 weeks and 96 total hours of an internship experience. For the purposes of this grant program, internships are not synonymous with coops, practicums, clinicals, and/or student teaching.

Student application

Student applications open on Monday, February 26, 2024. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and selection of students will be based on availability. Space is limited. We welcome all students who meet the requirements to apply, but priority consideration will be given to applicants who have not previously received funding from our program.

Students must use their TWU email address in order to access the form.

In the application, you will need to upload:

1. the offer letter or a written form of communication confirming the details of your internship at the company/organization, and
2. a copy of your job description/job responsibilities.

If you do not have these two forms, please ask your hiring manager to provide you with a letter. An email notification will suffice, but will need to be made into a PDF and submitted.

Apply now!

Program orientation

Students that are accepted are required to complete a program orientation module, and will not begin to receive funding for their unpaid internship until they complete all requirements.

Orientation module steps:

• Review the program orientation module
• Complete the program orientation quiz
