What is the purpose of the Internship Stipend?

This program encourages Cooke Scholars to seek internships during the summers while they are undergraduate students. We believe that every student should engage in at least two internship or research experiences during their undergraduate years. Internships allow students to gain experience in a specific field and help determine an interest in a particular career. The Internship Stipend allows Cooke Scholars to take advantage of internships that they may not be able to consider without the Foundation’s financial support. If you are a current senior in the Young Scholars program and are interested in a summer internship, please contact your Educational Adviser for more information.
