What is an internship and why do one?

An internship is a supervised, real-world learning experience related to your major or career field. Internships allow you to:

  • explore a career field and determine if it is a good fit for your skills and interests.
  • form relationships with professionals who may help you connect to other companies, organizations or experiences.
  • demonstrate work-related knowledge and skills which will increase your marketability for future internships and full-time positions.

Internship Grants

Fusion Experiential Grants are available to fund extraordinary student projects, internships, and other transformational experiences. For deadlines, descriptions and application forms, check here.
