Unpaid/Underpaid Internship Support Program

Career outcome data for CSU (2018) suggests that at least 66% of students complete an internship and those students are more likely to have a job offer or acceptance to graduate school when compared to students without internship experience. We also know that many students are unable to complete an internship because of a financial barrier.

The CSU Unpaid/Underpaid Internship Support Program has two goals: Increase the number of CSU students completing internships and reduce financial barriers to completing an internship.

Find out below how you can receive support of up to $4,000 in financial awards through CSU.

We sometimes feel overwhelmed by academic and work demands, relationship challenges, racial injustice, economic instability, and political unrest. During the pandemic, all of our struggles can feel even more difficult.

As the book chosen to launch Colorado State University’s Rams Read program, Claudia Rankine’s Citizen: an American Lyric is a powerful exploration of the experience of race and racism in the U.S. As Rankine shows readers in her use of lyric essays, poems, and images throughout the book, dialogue and discourse are two incredibly important tools for meaning-making, but they are not the only tools.  The Rams Read Virtual Gallery is a platform for students to question, explore, and manifest what lives at the intersection of art and activism as well as the artist’s role within the racial justice movement.
