Industry and Faculty Applications Being Accepted for 2012 Summer Team Internship Program

Published November 1, 2011 by Eric Pamintuan

This grant will provide stipends of $1,250 to 36 student interns for 100 internship hours each, this summer. We would like to pay our students to gain experience from you! Each student can do 100 internship hours for you and be paid a stipend through the grant!

For companies or faculty that require more than 100 internship hours from each intern, we ask that they compensate their interns for hours completed above 100 hours. For example, some companies/faculty ask students to intern part time or full time over the summer. These companies/faculty will have students for 100 internship hours, but will compensate each student hourly for hours beyond the 100 hours that our stipend covers (at a minimum rate of $12.50/hour).

I encourage you/your company to participate in this great program. We are currently identifying the top MESA students from San Diego State University, Southwestern College, and San Diego City College who will participate in this year’s summer internship program. The students will be available around late May or early June 2012.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to the San Diego MESA Alliance (SDMA) provided stipends for 36 student interns (12 students in MESA/MEP program at each campus – San Diego City College, San Diego State University, and Southwestern Community College) this summer at various projects in science and engineering firms.

This is a unique paid internship that incorporates a team component into the student internship experience. Hired student interns were placed in teams of 2-4 students to work on projects in engineering and science firms or for faculty. Summer internships occurred between May through August of 2011, at a minimum of 100 hours. In some cases, employers and/or faculty may extend internships or create other internship opportunities for students (beyond summer 2011).
