[Gradschool] Internship Opportunities

[Ileana Lane]

FYI--
  The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) is 
seeking the best and the brightest of our community for our Summer 
2007 HACU National Internship Program (HNIP). The internship 
program is designed to allow college students to gain professional 
development experience that will enable them to make more educated 
career choices. The summer 2007 session is the most popular session 
with more than 40 federal agencies and corporations providing over 
400 internship opportunities in Washington, D.C., and in field 
locations throughout the U.S. HNIP is currently accepting 
applications for our summer session until February 23, 2007. There 
is no fee to apply. Federal agencies and corporations will begin 
selecting students starting mid-March.

HNIP strongly recommends completing an internship prior to 
graduating to improve your future employment opportunities. Many of 
our former interns have been able to leverage their experience for 
more challenging and better paying positions. Not only will you be 
exposed to your field of study and gain valuable work experience, 
you will also begin to build your network of professional contacts 
who may at some point open a door of opportunity for you or provide 
you with guidance on your career plans.

Travel & Housing

Roundtrip airfare is arranged and provided at no charge to 
interns. Interns who arrange their own transportation will be 
reimbursed for reasonable expenses. You are financially responsible 
for the costs of housing, but HNIP can arrange and manage it for 
you. 

Pay:

Intern stipend levels are based on academic level at the time of 
application.

Sophomore/Junior - $440/week

Senior - $470/week

Graduate/Law - $540/week

Corporate intern pay levels vary and will be determined at the time 
of the offer.

Eligibility:

* Be authorized or eligible to work by law in the United States

* Have a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale

* Be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree 
program

* Have completed their freshman year of college before the 
internship begins

Deadline: 

Summer 2007 - February 23, 2007. Your online application and all 
supporting documents must be on-file prior to this date. 

Internship Dates:

June 1 - August 11, 2007. Students enrolled under a quarter system 
schedule are able to participate on our Quarter Session Dates: June 
17th - August 25, 2007.

To Apply:

Visit us online at www.hnip.net. You will also need to mail the 
following documents:

Please allow 2-3 business days for the uploading and processing of 
your documents. Applicants are screened and selected based on their 
field of study, goals, academic performance, and extracurricular 
activities. Supervisors at participating federal agencies or 
corporations make the final selections; however, HACU makes the 
official offer of employment to the student.

Please contact us should you have any questions about the 
application process. We look forward to your completed application.
