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.
