TUIP – Temple University Internship Program | Temple University Career Center

In collaboration with Temple staff and faculty, the Career Center provides substantive on-campus experiential learning through the Temple University Internship Program (TUIP).

The student’s internship should be for approximately 10 hours a week and the student would receive no less than $10 an hour.
The internship must have specific goals and objectives, including an opportunity to contribute to a significant portion of a project. For example: A student developing and managing a contest campaign for an existing social media platform.
The student’s internship must connect to the student’s area of study or their career interests.

The student intern must have a designated workspace. Students may work remotely, in-person, and/or hybrid, under close direction of their host department based on current operations.

TUIP Hiring Process

TUIP internship supervisors/mentors submit the TUIP Department Application.
The Career Center posts the internship on Handshake for students to apply.
After the student application deadline, the Career Center sends a bundle of resumes of interested applicants to the host department.
TUIP supervisors/mentors manage the interview process by selecting students to interview, scheduling interviews, and extending the internship offer.
After selecting the best candidate, the intern’s payroll information must be matched in Taleo by the host department for the intern to get paid.

There are two (2) ways to fund the internship listed under the funding section below.

TUIP Marketing to Students

The Career Center will enter TUIP internships to Handshake, the university-wide internship and job posting system, in order to reach a greater number of Temple students. TUIP opportunities will be marketed to students via Handshake and e-mail.

If you have any questions or need additional information about TUIP please feel free to reach out to the Career Center at holly@temple.edu.

TUIP Funding

Full Funding by Department

Federal Work Study Grant

For the interns to be paid using the Federal Work Study Grant 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 (summer interns must have a valid FAFSA on file for the upcoming year as well).
- They must meet academic progress.
- They must have unmet financial need. Students using tuition remission might have limited or zero unmet need for work study.
Interns being paid through FWS funds cannot be paid more than $10 per hour.
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 FOAPAL used to hire the intern in Taleo.
If you are interested in having the remaining 25% covered, there is limited state funding available through Student Financial Services. Please indicate your interest on the Intern Request Form.
In some cases, students may qualify for a Federal Work Study award increase. The supervisor or student can make this request to Student Financial Services. 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 Federal Grant: $562.50

Final Cost to Office/Department if full award is used (25%): $187.50
