Got a sweetastic internship? That’s chill. What’s that though? A little bit upset that it is unpaid? Well, have no fear because Career Services Funding is here to quell your funding woes. First off, an experience is an experience, paid or unpaid, especially if it’s in a field or industry that you aim to pursue after your time at Club Midd. But working and not getting paid kind of stings, especially if you have to relocate. Even though cash may not rule everything around you, it is still pretty important because dem bills got to get paid! That’s why we have some awesome Alums and friends of this great place we call Middlebury who realize how important unpaid internships can be and have graciously put $90K towards funding unpaid internships.
Getting funding, however, isn’t quite as easy as clicking your heels and 2 stepping. You might already know this, but there is an application process you have to go through and the competition can be pretty fierce, but I have faith you will just do super duper! To see the application, just go to MOJO and search Middlebury Career Services. I do have a few tips I want to highlight, too.
First off, the deadline is April 1st, yes, the Friday of Spring Break. Get on the jump off soon. Next, you already have to have an internship lined up. This might be a bummer for some of you who don’t know but this is straight cold hard cash people are throwing around, they want it going towards a good cause. Also, this application isn’t quite the same as applying to a regular internship because your cover letter has to clearly and concisely answer some specific questions. Basically they want to know why you should get the duckets. One of the most important things I should enlighten you all to is that this application is a 2 stepper, baby. Meaning, you have to complete 2 separate steps. The first is on the MOJO piece, and then other is an online form you can get on the Career Services web site. Have any other questions? I’m super sure that you do. Luckily the beautiful people here at Career Services has complied a nice little page on their website to help answer all of you FAQs. Just go to go/CSOfunding and your dreams will come true, well, maybe just your questions will be answered, but toats mcgoats check it out, y’all, for all application instructions and things you need to get donzo.
On a side note, nice weather? Sup? Get outside and enjoy that sun baby! And stop by Career Services for some drop ins, 2-5 Err Day.
