Wellesley College Internship and Stipend Programs
The Center for Work and Service offers both an Identified Internship Program and a Stipend Program.
In the Identified Internship Programs, the student applies for a placement in a specific company or organization that has been pre-arranged by the CWS. The CWS Stipend Program awards funding to students who have found their own unpaid internship and community service opportunities. Additionally, many academic departments provide funding for student internships, such as the Washington Internship Program.
The table below lists all Wellesley College organized opportunities except those offered through the junior/sophomore recruiting program.
