SDSU graduate and undergraduate students who will perform an internship for academic credit are eligible. Preference will be given to students pursuing unpaid internships. Internships involving school counseling or probation work will not be considered.
Candidates select their own internship site but may seek recommendations from their advisor or other University faculty. Internship assignments are to be determined by the internship supervisor in consultation with the student and the student’s internship coordinator or academic advisor.
Internships must be a minimum of 10 weeks in duration.
Internship stipends range from $500 to $2,000 and are to be used for academic and living expenses associated with the internship. Stipends will not interfere with or reduce financial aid, any existing scholarships or other stipends. Awards will be processed through the Office of Financial Aid.
All applicants will be notified of their application status within three weeks following the application deadline. The Grove-Law Internship Faculty Steering Committee will review submitted applications and select finalists.
