The Cohen Career Center Internship Fund exists thanks to kind donations from the Parents & Family Council, the Vice President of Student Affairs, parents, and other donors. The fund awards up to $4,000 to undergraduate students pursuing necessarily unpaid internships. Internships deemed “necessarily unpaid” are offered by employers that genuinely lack the financial resources to pay wages to their interns and typically fall within the following sectors: non-profit, government, education, and non-governmental organizations. Opportunities at boutique, for-profit, media/communications, or entrepreneurially-oriented organizations may be considered if justification is provided regarding why the internship is unpaid.

To be eligible, applicants must be returning to the college after the completion of the internship, i.e. a rising sophomore, junior, or senior. May or August 2018 grads are not eligible. To apply for the funding, the student must secure an unpaid internship that is a minimum of 160 hours, worked at one organization, over at least four weeks. The minimum required hours must be completed between the dates of June 1 - August 1, 2018 though an internship may continue beyond August 1st. An applicant cannot use multiple internship offers to meet the duration and hourly requirements.

To apply, a student must submit the following 5 documents. Keep in mind that the application process is competitive and all application materials should be well-written.

• Statement of interest (no more than 800 words total) addressing the following points:
  • What is the connection between this internship and your career goals? How do you hope to benefit from the internship?

Student Eligibility

Our internship funding is available to undergraduate students currently enrolled full-time or part-time in any degree program. International students (F1/J1 visas) may apply, however, consider any effect the award would have on tax status -- please consult the Reves Center for more information. Awards are limited to one per student per year. Applicants must be in good academic standing at the time of application and remain in good standing throughout the internship. If the Spring 2018 cumulative GPA falls below 2.5, the funding award will be subject to review. Applicants need to be in good disciplinary status with the college as well and the selection process will involve a review of Dean of Student’s records.

Internship and Employer Eligibility  

The internship must meet the specific requirements for nature of the internship, duration, and total hours which are outlined in the descriptions above.  The minimum required hours must be completed between the dates of June 1-August 7, 2018, though an internship may continue beyond August 1st. An applicant cannot use multiple internship offers to meet the duration and hourly requirements.  Our funding cannot be applied retroactively toward any internship hours that were completed prior to May 2018.

Federal law requires payment of interns unless the internship satisfies criteria outlined by the U.S. Department of Labor.  William & Mary cannot determine whether any internship satisfies the Department of Labor criteria. To help ensure that William & Mary students are provided with beneficial internships, William & Mary requires all employers participating in the program to certify that they have reviewed and will abide by the Department of Labor criteria established in the FLSA.  Employers must submit an online verification form which will route directly to [[snlarson,Stephanie Larson]].

Special Considerations Required for International Internship Opportunities  

William & Mary's Travel Warning policy should be considered for any international interships. The College's policy establishes the circumstances under which student travel to countries subject to a U.S. State Department Travel Warning is permitted. Students hoping to intern abroad while receiving funding for an internship, should check the DOS Travel Warnings for the country they are interested in. If the country is under a DOS Travel Warning, please complete a petition which will be reviewed by the Reves Center. All petitions must be received by Nick Vasquez, International Travel and Security Manager, at the Reves Center no later than April 16th. 

Selection Criteria

The review committee will consider the following factors: academic standing, disciplinary status, financial need, nature of the internship, and the connection between the internship and the applicant's career interests.

Basis for Disqualification

The following criteria serve as automatic disqualification from the FUSE Funding Process:

• Incomplete application at time of deadline or submission of materials after the deadline
• Non-completion of the internship requirements
• Virtual, independent, or unsupervised internships
• Internships with the College of William & Mary. No research projects or work under any department at the undergraduate or graduate campuses will be funded.
• Internship site is owned or managed by member of intern’s family
• Inaccurate representation of internship or employer information
• Honor code or academic or disciplinary conduct violations
• Non-completion of post-internship commitments
• Transferring or withdrawing from the college before, during, or after the internship is completed

Selection Committee 

Applications will be reviewed by a committee consisting of William & Mary Employees from the Cohen Career Center, Charles Center and Government Department.  The committee will meet in late April to make decisions about the awards.

Disbursement of Award 

Awards will be distributed prior to the experience. If an intern does not complete the full internship for any reason, they will be responsible for repaying the full award amount. Questions about funding can be directed to [[snlarson,Stephanie Larson]].

Post-Internship Expectations 

Following the completion of the internship, the student must complete an evaluation reflecting on the internship’s impact on his/her academic and career goals. The internship supervisor must submit an evaluation of the intern’s performance including verification that the required hours were completed between June 1 and Aug 7, 2018. If the supervisor evaluation form is not returned at the conclusion of the experience, the internship is considered incomplete, and students will be expected to repay all funds awarded. If you have any questions about this, please contact [[snlarson,Stephanie Larson]].

Inclusion in Publicity Materials & Donor Events 

Acceptance of an award by a student implies his/her agreement that the college may use the student’s name and likeness in materials related to the internship funds. Recipients may request an exemption from this by writing to [[snlarson,Stephanie Larson]]. Recipient agrees to be available as requested for activities such as thank you letters, information sessions, and donor-recognition events.

Additional Funding 

The internship funds managed by the Cohen Career Center are just a few ways the College of William and Mary provides financial support for internships. A student can investigate additional funding for internships and summer study opportunities via the Charles Center and  Office of Community Engagement, as well as, his/her academic department(s). The Cohen Career Center awards can be held concurrently with any other William and Mary merit awards, although these awards/sources should be mentioned in the section of the application that addresses costs of the internship and financial need.

Tax Implications

These awards will be considered as merit awards and could affect any need-based aid that students may be offered for the academic year. Students are responsible for consulting with Financial Aid to estimate the impact, if any, of an internship award on their financial aid package.  For domestic students, the award will be treated as taxable income for federal and state income tax purposes and the College of William and Mary will issue a Form 1099-Misc to US citizens and permanent residents and a corresponding copy to the IRS.  Students should consult their parents or a tax advisor for federal and state income tax filing questions. For more information on tax-related issues, please consult Financial Aid. For international students, depending on the individual circumstances for the award recipient, the College of William and Mary will be required to issue either a Form 1099-Misc or Form 1042-S. Payments to international students may be subject to 30% direct tax withholding. International students should contact the Reves Center to better determine their circumstances.
