The Walter Center recently
started administering the Larry Blatt Internship fund. This fund is focused on
supporting student pursuit of internships (paid or unpaid) by covering
associated housing and travel cost up to $3k per student. We have currently
awarded about 30k of the 75k we have available to give to students this
semester. In order to fully realize the potential impact of this fund, we need
to fund an additional 10 – 12 undergraduate or graduate students by the end of
May. Here are the criteria for funding:
- The student must be pursuing a life sciences major in the College.
- The student must have secured an internship at a life sciences company (the student need not be working in a life science capacity). For example, we could fund a student working in the marketing department at Cook Medical or on the sales team at Eli Lilly.
- Awards are given in the amount of 1k for internships lasting 4 weeks or less and 3k for internships lasting more than 4 weeks.
- Funds cannot be given to students working in an Indiana University-owned laboratories.
To apply, students must
complete a short application and have already secured their internship. The application
is available here.
