Funded Internship Partners

The Office of Strategic Partnerships partners with regional employers to provide paid 10-week internship positions. Annual funding is limited.

Intern Scholarship Programs

Intern Scholarships help to reduce barriers for students participating in internships within their related field of study. Each semester, students can apply to receive financial support through university funds in the form of a one-time institutional award for participating in unpaid, academic-credit internship opportunities.

Wellby Financial Intern Scholarship Endowment

Wellby Financial has partnered with the university to establish an endowment to provide financial relief for unpaid interns. The endowment, in recognition of Deborah Conder, Chair of the Wellby Board of Directors and a proud UHCL Hawk, ensures students are not discouraged from internships due to financial need. The credit union recognizes that internships are essential to preparing students to enter the workforce and hopes to inspire students to aspire professionally and give back to the community
