Funding Resources
The Student Engagement Network offers grants to students interested in expanding their undergraduate experience through engagement experiences. These funds can be used for housing, travel, and other costs related to an internship or engaged scholarship activity.
Some companies provide housing for interns, but many do not. Be sure to ask your new employer if they provide company provided housing, assistance in finding housing, a housing stipend, or other housing support to new interns.
If your hiring company does not provide housing, below are some resources to get you started.
