Wellesley College Internship and Stipend Programs

The generosity of Wellesley alumnae, parents, and friends has made many internship opportunities possible for Wellesley College students. The Center for Work and Service offers both Identified Internship Programs 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.
