Dear All,

Please see the opportunity below for our students who are getting internships this spring and summer. Funds are available to support transportation, childcare, housing, etc. to enable them to take their internships. 

I'm happy to help or provide more information if needed.

Please spread the word!

Thanks so much,

Megan

Hello,

There is a new opportunity for students to receive funding for internships and experiential learning!

The Pathways to Careers Center received funding to increase student access to experiential learning opportunities, like internships, co-ops, clinicals, practicums, apprenticeships, or similar career-relevant experiences. Students can apply for funds to support any expenses that are needed to participate in these opportunities, such as mileage, housing, childcare, work attire, or equipment.

Applications are being accepted now! To receive support for a Spring 2024 internship, the application must be received by March 15. To receive support for a Summer or Fall 2024 internship, the application must be received by April 15. To qualify for funds, students are required to go through training to prepare them for their experiential learning. Many students are already engaged in a pre-professional course, career bootcamp, or other pre-experience training that qualifies or there is a new Brightspace course to meet this requirement. For more information with links to the application and Brightspace course, visit https://www.maine.edu/transforms/student-grant-information/

If you know of someone that should hear about this opportunity, please share this email!

Pathways to Careers is funded with generous support from the Harold Alfond Foundation through UMS TRANSFORMS Student Success and Retention and from the Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan.
