MSU Federal Credit Union Internship Opportunity Award – Summer 2012
Internship Opportunity Award Overview
Through the generosity of the Michigan State University Federal Credit Union (MSUFCU) and individual donors, the MSU Career Services Network is able to grant stipend awards for students pursuing unpaid internships during the summer 2012 semester.
The MSUFCU Internship Opportunity Award program was established to benefit worthy and capable students enrolled at Michigan State University. It is intended to encourage students who have demonstrated the capacity to accomplish educational and professional goals, the motivation to achieve these goals and the initiative to seek experiential learning opportunities to further progress toward their career. Recipients will be selected based on the following criteria:
 Undergraduate MSU student in good standing (expected graduation of December 2012 or later)
 Accepted to a high quality, unpaid, career-related internship focusing on the following areas: non-profit organization, government, media, the arts, public relations and advertising
 Demonstrated financial need (as determined by the MSU Office of Financial Aid)
 Preference will be given to applicants with internships at non-profits located in the greater Lansing area, non-profits in Michigan and Michigan start up businesses in operation less than two years.
Internship Awards – Summer 2012
Up to thirteen (13) Awards of $1,000 each are available. Additional awards will be given based on available program funds and demonstrated student interest and need.
Recipients will be required to express acceptance and appreciation in writing within three weeks of notification of the award, participation in a post-internship Career Services workshop, and participation in a donor-related activity or event (further details will be provided with award notifications.)
