Application opens December 1. The deadline to apply for the Job-Ready Summer Internship Award is May 1.
To make internships a viable option to more of our students, the College of Liberal Arts created the Job-Ready Summer Internship Award. This award provides up to $2,000 in financial support* to qualifying undergraduate students who choose to pursue summer internships off campus. Job-Ready aims to:
- Provide real-world opportunities that prepare Purdue Liberal Arts students for inspired careers and bold leadership.
- Encourage CLA students to pursue off-campus summer internships and to make unpaid and low-paid internships a viable option for more students.
- Enrich CLA students’ understanding of relevant issues and opportunities to be used in the world after graduation.
- Bring students’ critical skills to organizations addressing important issues while providing students with hands-on work experience.
- Provide employers with access to CLA students’ unique skills.
