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.
Applications Due May 3, 2021 |

What Are Probiotics? |

Probiotics are beneficial microbes that live in our large intestine. They help break down fiber that we are unable to digest as well as fight off any foreign bacteria that isn’t good for us. This is how probiotics help us maintain a healthy immune system all year long! |
