Adam Bernstein MARAB DC Internship (click for more details)

A collaboration between the Middle Atlantic Regional Advisory Board (MARAB) and Civic House, the Adam Bernstein MARAB DC Internship is designed to provide University of Pennsylvania undergraduate students with financial support to participate in unfunded or underfunded Washington, D.C. area summer internships in the public interest.  While all DC- area nonprofit or public internships will be considered, please note that preference will be given to students working with nonprofit organizations.  Internships working with for-profit organizations will not be considered.  Student financial need will also be taken strongly into consideration and prospective interns may apply for full-time or part-time support.  The number of students selected and the amount of support provided will be determined based upon the applicant pool.  If you are applying to this fund for an internship in the DC. area and are not selected, your application will automatically be carried over into the general Public Interest Internship Funds selection process to be reconsidered amongst all applicants that have applied for summer funding through Civic House.   

Civic House Public Interest Internship Funds (click for more details)

The Civic House Public Interest Internship Funds provide support for selected University of Pennsylvania students who have secured summer positions in the nonprofit or public sectors. It is the goal of these Funds to enable students who rely on summer earnings to participate in unfunded nonprofit internships that they would otherwise be unable to accept. While all eligible students are encouraged to apply, preference will be given to students with demonstrated financial need.  Prospective interns may apply for full-time or part-time support; the number of students selected and the amount of support provided will ultimately depend upon the applicant pool.  Please note that we do not fund internships with for profit organizations.
