Summer Experiential Fellowship application
Career Services is fortunate to have funding to offer several Summer Experiential Fellowship Grants to students interested in translating their Extern experiences into summer internships. Summer Experiential Fellowship Grants of $4,800 each for 10 weeks of full time, unpaid internships are intended to make a summer internship possible where the student needs to get paid and the alum's/mentor's organization cannot offer a salary. The only requirements to apply are that you completed the externship and that a summer internship would not otherwise offer a source of funding and that you will be a Swarthmore student in Fall 2020. If you and your mentor agree that a summer spent together would be mutually beneficial, talk with your mentor to set out a learning plan for the summer.
Read about previous Summer Experiental Fellows' internships here: https://www.swarthmore.edu/career-services/summer-experiential-fellowships.
The application is due Feb. 12th. As always, should you have any questions, feel free to email us.
This is a competitive application process, so please work closely with your mentor to submit a strong application.
