The Shattuck Family Internship Program for Entrepreneurship Innovation
and Social Change prepares UMBC students for the rigors and rewards of
entrepreneurship and social innovation. This program places
highly-motivated students from diverse backgrounds in mentored
internships to better prepare them to launch for-profit ventures.
Internships last one semester (15 weeks) and students will work, on
average, 8 to 10 hours per week. Students receive a stipend of $1,500
toward their compensation. In addition to the internship, students
engage in projects and activities that further expose them to the
entrepreneurial mindset.
BONUS: The Shattuck Interns can apply to become Family Entrepreneurial Scholars/Fellows which provides selected interns who successfully completed their placements in companies, and have demonstrated particularly strong proclivity to become entrepreneurs with awards up to $5,000. The awards can be used as academic scholarships, or as “seed funding” to launch new ventures or community-based social entrepreneurship projects.
Why Participate?
- Earn a competitive stipend of $1,500 plus an opportunity to potentially earn credit and obtain up to $5,000 for a scholarship or seed funding for a new venture
- Gain valuable experience in your career field by interning 120 hours over the course of the semester (8-10 hours per week)
- Be exposed to the knowledge, skills, and mindset required to successfully launch and manage a growing business
- Develop a network of contacts in the entrepreneurial community for future references and opportunities
- Apply classroom knowledge in a realistic work environment and apply lessons learned in the workplace to academic coursework
ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS MUST:
Have completed a minimum of 30 credits with a GPA of 2.8 or above, and possess an interest in entrepreneurship. ALL majors are encouraged to apply.
TO APPLY:
Interested students are asked to submit a Resume and a Cover Letter answering the following questions:
Discuss your interest in both entrepreneurship and this intern program. What has been your entrepreneurial involvement thus far such as coursework, seminars, etc. (if applicable)? What type of start-up would you like to intern for and why?
