UW–Madison Students can save with a Summer Term Internship scholarship!

Currently enrolled at UW–Madison pursuing an undergraduate degree.

Enrolled in at least one UW-Madison Summer Term course (including internship courses) by April 4, 2027.

Accepted to an internship taking place in the United States that is 15 hours/week minimum and lasts a minimum of 6 weeks. Cannot be an internship for post-graduation.
