• The internship should be for approximately 10-15 hours a week and the department pays at least $10 an hour. 
• The internship must have specific goals and objectives, including an opportunity to contribute to a significant portion of a project or research. For example: A student updating data analysis for an existing program or a student managing a contest campaign for an existing social media platform. 
• The internship must connect to the students' academic or career interests. 
• Supervisors/mentors must share constructive weekly or bi-weekly feedback with the intern on their performance. 
• Interns will evaluate and reflect on their TUIP experiences. Supervisors will also evaluate their interns. 
• Students are NOT able to receive credit for their TUIP internships. 
• Interns may work remotely, in-person, and/or hybrid, under direction of their supervisors. Interns must have a designated workspace if they are in the office. 

• TUIP internship supervisors/mentors post the internships on Handshake for students to apply. (Optional) 
• After the application deadline, supervisors review all applications. 
• TUIP supervisors manage the interview process by selecting students to interview, scheduling interviews, and extending the internship offer. 
• After selecting the best candidate, supervisors or hiring managers match the intern’s information in Taleo for the intern to log hours and to get paid. 
• There are two (2) ways you can fund the internship listed under the TUIP Funding section below. 

After supervisors/hiring managers have posted their TUIP internships on Handshake (the Career Center's internship and job site accessible to all students), the Career Center will help promote internships to undergraduate students. 

If you have any questions about TUIP or posting on Handshake, please reach out to the Associate Director of Internships and Experiential Learning Holly Logan at [click-for-email]. 

If the office/department has full funding for a TUIP internship, the office/department will only need to meet the Career Center requirements for an office/department to participate.

For the interns to be paid using Federal Work Study (FWS), the following items must apply:

• The intern must be a student who is eligible to receive Federal Work study funding.
  • They must have a valid FAFSA on file for the current academic year.
  • They must meet academic progress.
  • They must have unmet financial need.
• Students must be hired as a FWS Student (6700) in Taleo.
• The Federal Work Study Program only covers 75% of the student’s pay. The other 25% will be charged to the department's FOAPAL used to hire the intern in Taleo.
• In some cases, students may qualify for a Federal Work Study award increase. The student or supervisor can request this from Student Financial Services (SFS). If payroll for the student continues to run and the student has run out of FWS funding, the department will be charged with 100% of that payroll for that student.

Below is an example of a typical student FWS award for one semester:

• Student FWS award for one term: $750
• Amount covered by FWS: $562.50
• Final Cost to Office/Department if full award is used: $187.50
