Summer internships are a critical component in your professional development - a chance to use your new skills towards real-world problems. Our goal is to help you pursue career options geared toward social impact while working to mitigate the stress of financial barriers. Each summer, thanks to generous donations and support from alumni and UChicago donors, we at The Career Development Office (CDO) are proud to support the Harris Summer Internship Fund, which offers eligible students the opportunity to apply for a one-time stipend for unpaid internships in the non-profit and public sectors.

The fund will be offered on a competitive basis through an online application process that evaluates internship objectives, goals, and logistics based on an offer letter and short-answer responses you provide. View the Internship Funding Application Rubric.
