Summer Internships Program
Program Overview
Selected students serve as full-time (40 hours per week), paid interns in service organizations throughout North Carolina for 8 to
10 weeks during the summer.
What to Expect
Academic Credit
Interns receive 3.0 hours of academic credit for the summer internship. Selected interns are expected to find a faculty adviser and set up an independent study course, appropriate for the internship which will provide opportunities for reflection and
deeper learning. Each intern’s course requirements are determined on an individual basis; however, all interns must maintain frequent contact with their adviser, complete assigned readings and a final research paper and presentation.
Finances
All interns will receive $2,500 funding through a collaborative effort between the APPLES Program and the internship site. Interns are paid on the agency's' payroll on a biweekly or monthly basis.
Housing and Travel
With the exception of SAF (Student Action with Farmworkers), interns are responsible for arranging their own housing and travel plans.
