Qualified students are matched with nonprofit and governmental organizations for a semester-long spring internship. Interns work 10 to 12 hours per week for approximately 15 weeks, earning a stipend and academic credit for 150 hours of work.
What to Expect
Academic Credit
Interns receive three hours of academic credit for the spring internship. To earn the academic credit for the internship, student interns are enrolled in a spring class that meets on Thursdays from 2-4 p.m. to discuss and reflect upon the nature of their work and the issues encountered during the internship. The combination of service and academics allows for opportunities for reflection and deeper learning for the interns. Course Syllabus
Finances
All interns will receive a $1,200 salary through a collaborative effort between the APPLES Program and the internship site.
