• Bailey Unpaid Internship Scholarship for Summer or Fall 2023 (due Apr. 29)

  Mar 22, 2023 9:45 am388 views

  The University YMCA’s Fred S. Bailey Unpaid Internship Scholarship program provides scholarship funding to University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign undergraduate students who accept unpaid internships with public service agencies and not for profit organizations. The scholarship is intended to cover educational expenses that may become a financial burden in an unpaid position.  These internships provide an opportunity for students to complement their academic preparation with direct practical experience. The effort to combine a productive work experience with an intentional learning component is a proven method for promoting the academic, personal, and career development of students.

  Students will be selected on the basis of their demonstrated commitment to community development, service, and activism and the internship’s potential impact on the student’s learning and professional development as well as financial need.
