Internship Funding Summer 2023: PCSB INTERN FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The PCSB Intern Fellowship Program supports business majors with identified domestic (U.S.-based) internships that would not be feasible without a financial contribution from the Program. These could be internships during the summer or during the regular fall or spring terms. Examples include non-profit internships or formally structured supervised service project work. The Program will have three application cycles, and each cycle will have two deadlines. Applicants who are awarded funds will receive up to $2,500 to be put toward supporting expenses associated with participating in an internship (e.g., transportation, housing) or other related expenses (e.g., summer internship course tuition or course materials).

1.      The applicant must be a PC undergraduate student with a declared major in business to apply to this Program. Exiting seniors with a summer internship post-graduation are not eligible to apply.

 

2.      The applicant must have already obtained a summer, fall, or spring internship at an organization that will provide him/her with a minimum of 6 weeks/120 hours of work at a site located in the U.S.

 

3.      The applicant must submit the following materials through Handshake by the appropriate deadline:

·     PCSB Intern Fellowship Program Application Form (see Appendix A)

·     (2) Letters of Recommendation from Faculty

·     Current Resume

·     Unofficial Transcript

 

4.      The applicant must agree to fulfill the PCSB Intern Fellowship Program requirements outlined under “Award Allocations & Distribution.”

 

 

·      If this internship is not unpaid, the applicant may be required to submit additional documentation to support a case for financial need.

·      Whether or not the applicant pursues credit for the internship has no bearing on his/her eligibility for funding.

·      Funding for this Program is limited, so students are only eligible to receive internship funding from this Program once per cycle.

The second and final installment will be paid upon completion of the PCSB Intern Fellowship Program requirements, which include:

·      Submission of a completed Internship Site Evaluation to the CCEPD’s associate director for experiential education.

 

Each student that receives an award through this Program will be asked to prepare a note of gratitude in the form of a brief reflection paper (approx. 500 words) at the conclusion of his/her internship experience. In this note, the student will introduce themselves and provide some background information (e.g., major, class year), and describe his/her internship experience, including details about his or her goals, functions, accomplishments, and career path insights. Additionally, each site supervisor will be asked to prepare a statement for donors that describes how the student intern’s experience contributed to the mission of his/her organization or to specific initiatives. These notes will be submitted to the CCEPD and shared with the Office of Institutional Advancement for annual stewardship reports to donors who contribute to the PCSB Intern Fellowship Program.

 

Established in 2020, the PCSB Intern Fellowship Program is made possible through generous gifts from Providence College benefactors. As such, it is important that we convey our gratitude for their support, and one way of doing this is by reporting back to donors about the positive impact their gifts have on the PC community and student experience. To support these acknowledgement efforts, we would be grateful if you would prepare a note of gratitude in the form of a brief reflection paper (approximately 500 words) at the conclusion of your internship. In this note, you should introduce yourself and provide the donors with some background information (e.g., major, class year), and describe your internship experience, including details about your goals, functions, accomplishments, and career path insights. Please address your note to “Dear PCSB Intern Fellowship Program Benefactors” and send either by postal mail or email by [enter date] to:

 

 

Support for your student’s internship has been provided by the Providence College School of Business Internship Sponsorship Program. This Program is made possible by the generosity of a group of donors committed to enhancing the co-curricular experience and career preparation of students majoring in business at Providence College. For this reason, we would like to be able to report back to them on the positive impact of their gifts and this Program. To that end, we would be grateful if you would prepare a statement at the conclusion of the internship to describe how your student intern’s experience contributed to the mission of your organization or to specific initiatives.
