Student Success Internship Program Overview
"With funding from the University of California Office of the President, the Division of Student Affairs and the Office of Undergraduate Education have developed an undergraduate internship program called the Student Success Internship. The internships are centered on the UC Merced campus or its satellite locations. Participating departments design new and meaningful internship projects and designate a supervisor-mentor to guide and support the intern as they undertake professional and institutionally meaningful projects in lieu of positions that can be viewed as campus student employment. Now, in its eighth year, the Student Success Internship program is again able to fund 30 undergraduate experiences. Funding is awarded through the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships as a student stipend and will be added to the student’s financial aid award." Learn more on their website!
