How does the program work? Students selected for this program will:

Work with CoyoteCareers staff, department faculty, and community partners (nonprofit agencies, schools or government offices/agencies) to find an internship that meets the needs of both the student and the community.

Enroll in an internship course with academic units based on all or part of the service learning assignment.

Complete a 100-hour internship during Spring Quarter, 2008.

Receive a pre-tax stipend of $1,000 upon completion of the 100 hour service assignment, the academic requirements for the internship, and an evaluation of the CoyoteCareers Stipend Program experience.

Screening of applications begins immediately and will continue until all CoyoteCareers Stipends have been awarded, based on the CoyoteCareers Stipend criteria. Twenty stipends will be awarded for Spring Quarter. Additional stipends will be available during the 2008-2009 academic year.

All community-based projects must be approved by both the faculty advisor and CoyoteCareers staff before the service work can begin.
