First-year undergraduate students have the opportunity to gain valuable professional experience with Duke campus departments during the spring semester. There are many First-Year Internships to choose from in a wide range of on-campus offices, departments, and centers.  Each one offers a substantive project with explicit learning and skill-development goals along with guidance and support from a dedicated staff or faculty member.

The Duke Career Center’s Internship Funding Program aims to reduce the financial challenges associated with participating in a wide range of low-paying or unpaid internships, thereby achieving the following objectives:

• Facilitating student participation in experiential career exploration
• Expanding the diversity of internship opportunities in which Duke students participate

Through the generosity of corporate, individual and class donors, we are able to offer competitive grants ranging from $600 to $2,500 for students who accept unpaid or low-paying internships.
Awards are available in the following categories:

• Unrestricted (any employment sector)
• Service
• Health service
• Durham service (service internships in the Durham community during the summer months)
• NEW - Fund for International Students receiving Need-based Financial Aid
