Career Exploration Fellowship Offsets Cost of Underpaid Internships
As of mid-January, students can apply for funding to offset the cost of underpaid internships through the Career Exploration Fellowship!
Open to currently enrolled MIT undergraduates (first years, sophomores, juniors, and seniors returning to MIT for a graduate degree) completing domestic underfunded experiences within the following industry areas: non-profits, creative or design fields, journalism, sustainability, environmental services, or other research opportunities not affiliated with MIT. Funded by the Fall Career Fair, these fellowship awards are intended to help offset expenses incurred by completing the experience (ex: living or transportation expenses).
Funding ranges from $3,000–$5,000 for opportunities that are 6 weeks or more in duration, and $1,000–$3,000 for opportunities that are 5 weeks or less in duration.
