The Alumnae of Northwestern University has selected 20 students to receive grants to fund summer internships. The Summer Internship Grant Program (SIGP) provides undergraduate students a $3000 stipend for completing an unpaid summer internship while simultaneously participating in a professional development program offered by Northwestern Career Advancement (NCA) (formerly University Career Services).
NCA serves as the program administrator with financial support coming from the Alumnae of Northwestern University, other generous alumni donors, and the President and Provost offices. SIGP numbers have soared since the program’s first year, when grants of $2,000 were awarded to 10 students out of 90 applicants. This year there were over 700 applicants, with over half receiving the stipend of $3,000. The Alumnae of Northwestern has been a staunch supporter of the SIGP program since 2010 and participates in selecting the awardees as well as funding them.
