The VSA Program is for undergraduate students interested in careers in student affairs. The Summer Internship Program is designed to increase the number of traditionally underrepresented and historically disenfranchised professionals in student affairs. The unique internship model provides opportunities for students to network with peers, participate in professional development series, engage with student affairs staff, and meet with faculty in the College Student Personnel Program.

The VSA Internship Summer Internship Program will take place on campus on June 3-July 12, 2024. All internship positions include a $2000 stipend, housing in an on-campus residence hall, and at least $200 to be used in campus dining halls and retail dining locations.

The Impact Internship Grant for Summer 2024 is now open❕

If you have secured an internship this Summer in any impact area or industry that is unpaid or will be receiving a very low stipend, then this can be a great opportunity to receive financial assistance through competitive grants.
